Harris Teeter’s roots can be traced to 1936 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The supermarket chain is listed on the NYSE as Harris Teeter Supermarkets Inc. William Thomas Harris and Willis L. Teeter are the two founders of the chain. Harris borrowed some money and opened his first store in Charlotte at 1704 Central Avenue, known as Harris Super Market. It was known as Store #1.Teeter on the other hand, opened Teeters Food Mart in 1939. The two companies started sharing storage and buying procedures in the 1950’s, and in 1960 formalized their merger to form the Harris Teeter banner.
The Harris Super Market store in North Carolina was the first in the area to use the self-service concept and had extended opening hours on Fridays until 9 pm, whereas most stores in the area closed at 5. In 1969, the brand was bought by Ruddick Corporation. In 1980, the chain bought Hunter Farms dairy which now provides all its dairy products. The stores’ expansion outside Charlotte was marked by its acquisition of Food World stores in 1984 and it continued growing. One of its key focuses is on higher income urban areas and they launched the ‘Very Important Customer’ program, which is popularly known as VIC.
Harris Teeter customers can shop for groceries online through the Harris Teeter Express Lane or Home Shopping platform and pick them up at the nearest Harris Teeter store, but in 2012 introduced online delivery service in some areas.
The supermarket chain operates 210 stores in the following states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Virginia, Delaware, Columbia and Maryland. The Lowe’s Food stores brand is also under the chain.
The Harris Teeter on Skeet Club Road in High Point, NC has the rudest women working in the cold cut section. The company needs to make an overhaul just to that department.When I go into that store I will go to other departments and if I need cold cuts I go to another store. If I ever have another confrontation with those heifers, I will go to their level.
