About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Harris Teeter, every Tuesday around dusk, an old man with a shopping cart would appear. He’d push it up and down the aisles, humming softly to himself. Then one day, a little boy noticed something odd—every time the man passed by, the cans of beans seemed to sway in unison. Finally, someone asked him what he was doing. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, ‘I’m just making sure these beans get their daily exercise.’ The next week, customers brought their own bean cans for him to shake, turning Harris Teeter’s Tuesday tradition into a friendly game.
2. At Harris Teeter, late one night after closing, employees heard faint humming coming from the produce aisle. Curious, they checked and found nothing out of place—until one noticed a glowing apple slowly rotating on its own. Suddenly, an old lady in the dairy section asked if anyone had seen her glow-in-the-dark yogurt. Turns out it was just an ordinary midnight snack for the apples.
3. At Harris Teeter, on rainy nights, customers occasionally catch whiffs of something sweet and spicy wafting through the aisles. Rumor has it that it's the ghostly chef of a long-gone restaurant, trying out new recipes in the empty store. One night, a delivery driver swears he saw the ghost chef dancing with a crate of bananas while humming an old tune. When asked if he’d like some help, she replied, ‘Just bring me another bag of sugar, dear.’ Everyone now knows not to panic when they hear strange sounds—just wave hello to the friendly ghost baker.
4. At Harris Teeter, during early morning stocking hours, a mysterious figure in a blue apron would rearrange produce displays just so, leaving no trace behind. One day, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off near the bananas and woke up to find himself wearing the blue apron. He sheepishly straightened everything out, thinking nobody noticed—until he heard a voice from behind: ‘You missed a spot with those oranges.’ Turns out, it was just his neighbor, who’d been coming in every morning for years to help with the mystery arranging.
