Thanks for the news.
This is a good fit, Old Towners will love it.
Do you know if the Giant just north will stay open?
The Giant is in sad shape, they should close it or replace it.
This will be a good addition, assuming the developers can change their loading area from the projects present location. the locals object to the current position of the loading dock, as a nuisance (noise) and hazard for emergency vehicle access. Assuming this issue is resolved Harris Teeter will be a welcome addition to the area.
I agree Giant needs to do something to improve or close.
I am thrilled to hear about Harris Teeter, although I'm sorry to see that Rust, Orling will design it. They designed the nearby Monarch, which is a monstrosity, to put it very kindly. Hopefully, the City will do a better job this time keeping them in line.
Harris Teeter is way overpriced in my humble opinion.
