About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever wonder why that fuel pump always has a line of ants?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, 'I guess they just really like Harris Teeter's gas!' A few days later, a delivery driver joked, 'Maybe they're waiting for the organic ant-friendly fuel!' The regular smiled, shaking his head, as he walked out, muttering, 'Next time I see ants at the pump, I'll bring them some snacks.'

2. One day, a little boy walked into Harris Teeter Fuel with his family. As they approached the pumps, he pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Mom, look! The gas is dancing!' His parents exchanged puzzled glances but couldn't see anything unusual. Suddenly, an older gentleman in a pickup truck glanced over and laughed, ‘Son, that’s not dancing—it’s just Harris Teeter fueling up!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the boy who realized his mistake. From then on, whenever anyone filled their tank there, it became known as ‘the place where gas pretends to dance.’

3. One night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to Harris Teeter Fuel for a quick break. As he leaned against the pump, something strange happened—his phone started playing a familiar tune from across the lot. Curious, he walked over and saw his neighbor’s car stereo blaring out their favorite song. Turns out, it was just another late-night prank by the neighborhood mischief-maker—a regular who liked to test everyone's patience. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, realizing that sometimes life at Harris Teeter Fuel is more entertaining than he thought.

4. One afternoon, a neighborhood dog began sniffing around the pumps at Harris Teeter Fuel, completely ignoring its owner’s calls. No one had seen such strange behavior before. Suddenly, an elderly lady in a nearby car leaned out and called, ‘Hey, Fido! Come here!’ The dog perked up, trotted over, and promptly sat next to her, tail wagging. Turns out, it wasn’t Harris Teeter Fuel that confused him—just his owner who always parked there.
