About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Harris Teeter, every morning around sunrise, a regular would notice something peculiar: the store’s cat seemed to be guarding an empty shelf with unusual determination. No one else ever saw it. One day, a delivery driver brought in a crate of kittens for adoption. The next morning, everyone saw the cat leading his new family up and down the aisles—except for that one lonely shelf he’d always guarded. Turned out, he was just a protective big brother.
2. At Harris Teeter, every night after closing, customers began noticing strange footprints in the produce section. They were tiny and perfectly round, like those of a curious little animal. One night, a delivery driver found a tiny shopping cart hidden behind the bananas. When he mentioned it to his coworkers, they started leaving out miniature apples for ‘Mr. Footprints.’ Soon enough, everyone knew Harris Teeter had its very own adorable ghost shopper who preferred organic carrots over candy.
3. At Harris Teeter, one day a little girl pointed excitedly and asked her mom, ‘Why is that chicken running through the aisles?’ Her mother smiled and explained gently, ‘That’s not really a chicken, honey—it’s just a delivery driver in a costume.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with a twinkle in her eye and whispered, ‘Mom, can we get some of those funny costumes for our next family party?’
4. At Harris Teeter, during late-night stocking hours, a delivery driver swears he heard someone humming classical music from the produce aisle. Curious, the driver peeked around the corner and saw only empty shelves and shadows dancing in the dim light. Turns out, it was just an old cassette tape of Mozart that got stuck in the ventilation system. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Harris Teeter after dark, everyone would joke about the ‘classical produce picker-upper’ who worked nights.
