New Harris Teeter in Indian Trail

Harris Teeter is continuing its expansion in Union County with the opening of a new store Feb. 3, two weeks from today, in Indian Trail. The 48,000-square-foot store at Austin Village Shopping Center, 1351 Chestnut Lane, at Potter Road, will employ 80 people and debut after an 8 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony. Afterwards, it will be open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, with grand opening events its first three weekends.

The Indian Trail store will bring Matthews-based Harris Teeter to 195 locations chainwide, and will be the sixth store the company has opened in its current fiscal year, which began in October.
Harris Teeter plans to open six more locations by the end of September.

Three of this year's new stores, including Indian Trail, are in North Carolina. The other N.C. stores will replace older locations.
One, in Hendersonville, opened in December, and another, in Raleigh, is set to open Feb. 10. That store will be the chain's first two-story location. The other stores are in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, South Carolina and Tennessee.

The original sign said opening fall of 2008, guess they finally got tired of changing that sign.

I'm fairly sure there was a 2 story HT when they were in the Atlanta market.

Chris, that could very well be the case - after I originally posted this, I did a bit more research, and it appears that technically, the Raleigh location might not be the first, although it may be the only one currently in the chain that fits that bill. It seems to depend a bit on how you define a second floor: A colleague also mentioned that she thought the uptown Harris Teeter was two stories, and it seems it is, if not necessarily two FULL stories: The second level consists of what the company called a "two-story wine library" in a news release.
