The grocer, a division of The Kroger Co., plans to open five stores, which include expansion into new markets for the company.
Harris Teeter is also planning to introduce fuel centres and pharmacies at each location. Slated to open their doors during the next couple of years the stores are located in Jacksonville, Florida; Kannapolis, North Carolina and three sites in South Carolina at Clemson, Lake Wylie and Fort Mill.
“This expansion represents an exciting chapter for Harris Teeter as we extend our reach to serve more neighbours across the Southeast,” said Danna Robinson, Director of Corporate Affairs and Customer Relations for Harris Teeter. “We’ve seen incredible support from our customers and this growth allows us to meet rising demand while continuing to deliver the exceptional experience our brand is known for.”
Consistent with Harris Teeter’s mission to enrich the communities it serves, each store will establish partnerships with local food banks to address food insecurity and ensure neighbours have access to nutritious meals.
Headquartered in Matthews, North Carolina, Harris Teeter employs 36,000 valued associates across more than 250 stores and 85 fuel centres in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Maryland, Delaware, Florida and the District of Columbia.
