History

In 1936, W. T. Harris borrowed $500 to open his first grocery store in Charlotte, NC. In 1939, Willis L. Teeter and his brother, Paul, borrowed $1,700 to open their first Teeter’s Food Mart in Mooresville, NC.

The two young, prospering companies first combined efforts in 1958 when they pooled their buying efforts and storage facilities.

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.
