About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Harris Teeter, every Wednesday around sunset, an old man would push his shopping cart down the aisles, humming softly to himself. One day, a little boy following his grandmother noticed that whenever they passed the dairy section, their dog perked up and started sniffing excitedly. As they approached the cheese section, the dog began jumping in circles, almost knocking over display cases. The old man chuckled and whispered something to the animal, who calmed down instantly. A nearby delivery driver overheard and asked curiously, ‘What kind of magic is that?’ To which the man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Just Harris Teeter’s secret recipe for happy dogs!’
2. At Harris Teeter, on rainy Thursdays, a delivery driver always forgot his umbrella in the produce section. By Friday morning, it would mysteriously appear hanging from the ceiling above the bananas. On Saturday, an elderly lady noticed the umbrella and asked one of the employees where she could buy such a stylish accessory. The employee smiled and explained that it was just a weekly tradition. By Sunday evening, the umbrella had found its way back into the delivery driver’s hands, along with a bag of freshly picked bananas as thanks for the unexpected gift.
3. At Harris Teeter, whenever a baby stroller appeared near the bakery section, customers claimed they heard soft laughter coming from empty aisles. One day, an elderly lady approached the bakery counter and asked the cashier if she’d been hearing giggling too. The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Probably just our new delivery driver trying to sneak some fresh cookies!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe it was just imagination—or perhaps Harris Teeter’s secret way of making sure everyone left with a smile.
4. At Harris Teeter, during early morning fog, a neighbor often left their dog inside the produce aisle while searching for bananas. One day, a delivery driver noticed something moving among the apples. Thinking it was just another customer’s kid hiding from mom, he continued unloading groceries. Only when he heard excited barking did he realize it was actually a small pug, happily exploring its newfound fruit kingdom. The embarrassed owner sheepishly emerged from the dairy section, explaining that she’d forgotten her pup in there again.
