In 1936, W.T. Harris opened the first Harris Food Store in Charlotte, NC. The store was founded on three principles: high-quality products, clean stores and superior customer service. Just a few years later, Willis L. Teeter and his brother, Paul, opened their first Teeter’s Food Mart in Mooresville, NC. On February 1, 1960, Harris Super Markets and Teeter’s Food Marts officially merged to form Harris Teeter Super Markets, Inc. There were already 15 stores in operation. The first “Harris Teeter” store to open under the new banner was in Kannapolis, NC.
Today, Harris Teeter operates over 220 stores in the eight-state area of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Maryland and Delaware. We also have stores in the District of Columbia.
