| - Harris Teeters dominate Charlotte and provide good service, have added more organic selections, and are clean and well maintained. It is known as being pricey, but if you shop carefully you can find good bargins and sales.
I do not use it for all my shopping needs since I like the variety offered in shopping different places which offer more local and lower processed foods like Trader Joes and farmers' markets.
The Myers Park store has been a little gem. There has been a grocery store in this location for decades. It used to be an A&P, now it's a H-T! This location has friendly staff and well maintained.
What I love (have loved) about this particular H-T is that it is small. You can get in and out fast without having to cover miles of isles. They call it "Harris Teeter Express".
It feels like a neighborhood store, with a deli, meat counter and good selection of what you need. It doesn't carry everything the larger stores do, but it has everything you need most days. There are several larger H-T stores nearby if you are missing anything: East Blvd, Cotswold, and the flagship Morrocroft across from Southpark.
Sadly this store is going to be torn down soon and replaced with a larger store next to the current location ( where Myers Park Hardware used to be). We'll see how I like it when it opens, but right now I am unhappy that I am loosing my "Teeny Teeter".
The new store frame is towering over the Providence/Providence - Queens/Queens intersection. It really changes the character of the intersection.
Not that it has much to do with review of the store itself but the intersection traffic backs up even with two green lights. The left lane is blocked by left turning cars, and the right lane blocked by cars turning right held back by no right turn. It would have been nice if H-T had used the opportunity to improve the intersection and incorporated into the project a badly needed proper right turn lane. Instead, it took the sliver of right turn lane away, foreshadowing worse backups at this high traffic intersection.
