Harris Teeter Supermarkets, Inc.

Harris Teeter Supermarkets, Inc., commonly known as Harris Teeter, is a prominent American supermarket chain headquartered in Matthews, North Carolina, a suburb of Charlotte. Established in 1960 through the merger of Harris Super Market and Teeters Food Mart, the company has grown to operate over 250 stores and 60 fuel centers across seven states and the District of Columbia.

The supermarket chain offers a comprehensive range of products and services to meet the diverse needs of its customers. Their offerings include fresh produce, bakery items, dairy products, deli selections, frozen foods, meat, seafood, and a variety of grocery staples.

Additionally, Harris Teeter provides pharmacy services, ready-to-eat meals, and household supplies, ensuring a one-stop shopping experience for its clientele.

In 2014, Harris Teeter was acquired by The Kroger Company, a strategic move that allowed Kroger to expand its presence in the competitive grocery market. Despite the acquisition, Harris Teeter has maintained its brand identity, operating under its name and continuing to serve its loyal customer base.

The integration has led to the introduction of Kroger’s private label brands and enhanced marketing strategies, leveraging data analytics to improve customer engagement and operational efficiency.
