About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while loading groceries into her car, a neighbor noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside Harris Teeter’s loading dock. Curious, she peered through the window and saw a delivery driver singing along with it, seemingly oblivious to anything around him. As she watched, he reached for his phone and started dancing to some unknown beat. Startled, she knocked on the glass door, but he kept swaying, completely absorbed in his own little world. Finally, another employee came out and asked what was going on—only to join in the impromptu dance party.
2. In the early hours of one Saturday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Harris Teeter and noticed something peculiar: the parking lot seemed to be glowing softly from within. Curious, he approached the entrance and heard soft music coming from inside. To his surprise, the store was filled with smiling employees playing board games and singing along to old folk songs. ‘It’s our weekly staff get-together,’ explained an enthusiastic cashier. The delivery driver left with a bag full of groceries—and a newfound appreciation for late-night team bonding.
3. In the dead of night, when Harris Teeter’s parking lot is usually empty, a lone shopping cart began rolling down the aisles. Its wheels clicked softly against the tile floor, drawing curious glances from nearby employees. As it approached the dairy section, an employee noticed something odd—all the milk jugs were neatly arranged in alphabetical order. Smiling, she called out, ‘Whoever you are, thanks for cleaning up after us!’ Suddenly, the cart stopped, turned around, and rolled back into the produce area, where it started rearranging bananas by size. A delivery driver passing by shook his head with a laugh, muttering, “Probably just some neighborhood prankster having fun.”
4. In the middle of a quiet Sunday afternoon, a child pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mom, look! The shopping cart waves back at me!’ The mother smiled, leaning down to gently explain that it was just the cart’s handle moving in the breeze. Just then, an elderly gentleman passing by chuckled and said, 'Kids these days see magic everywhere!' And indeed, for a moment, Harris Teeter seemed like a place where ordinary things could become extraordinary.
