About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Harris Teeter, every Wednesday around sunset, an old man in a tweed suit would appear near the dairy section. He’d push a small shopping cart filled with nothing but empty jars and bottles. The cashiers would smile politely as he scanned each item, only to discover that none of them had any contents. One week, a delivery driver noticed the old man and decided to follow him discreetly. Turns out, every Thursday afternoon, the same man would show up at the local recycling center, filling his cart with fresh containers. By Friday morning, those very same jars were back on Harris Teeter shelves—empty again. It seems our friendly neighborhood recycler had found a unique way to save money and help the environment.
2. At Harris Teeter, late one night after closing, a delivery driver heard someone whispering from the produce section. ‘Apples are talking tonight,’ he thought, but when he turned around, there was no one there. Curious, he walked over to check, and then noticed something odd—an apple had rolled off the shelf and landed right next to his foot. Startled, he bent down to pick it up, only to hear another soft voice say, 'Thanks for helping!' Turning quickly, he saw nothing but empty aisles. That’s when he realized: maybe apples were just having an especially chatty night.
3. At Harris Teeter, a little girl pointed excitedly at the shelves, whispering to her mom: ‘Mommy, why do all these bananas look like they’re dancing?’ The mother smiled and gently replied, ‘Because honey, these bananas are just having a special dance party today.’ A nearby delivery driver overheard them and chuckled, nodding in agreement as he pushed his cart past, muttering under his breath, ‘Yep, must be one of those secret banana parties!’
4. At Harris Teeter, on foggy mornings, a small dog would appear from nowhere, sniffing the aisles and wagging its tail as if following invisible treats. One day, an elderly gentleman noticed the dog and followed it down the canned goods aisle. The dog stopped suddenly, pointed his nose towards a hidden corner, and started digging frantically. It turned out to be a secret stash of discounted peaches—a local delivery driver’s little-known treasure. From then on, customers joked that Harris Teeter had a ‘secret shopper’ who knew exactly where the best deals were.
