Harris Teeter’s History:
In 1936, W.T. Harris borrowed $1,500 to open the first Harris Food Store in Charlotte, North Carolina. The store was founded on three principles: high-quality products, clean stores and superior customer service. Harris was considered a pioneer of the grocery industry and opened the first supermarket that featured air-conditioning and stayed open until 9 p.m. on Friday nights.
Just a few years later, Willis L. Teeter and his brother, Paul, opened their first Teeter’s Food Mart in Mooresville, North Carolina. On February 1, 1960, Harris Super Markets and Teeter’s Food Marts merged to form Harris Teeter Super Markets, Inc. with 15 stores in operation.
Now with more than 250 stores and 36,000 valued associates, Harris Teeter is proud to provide an exceptional shopping experience to millions of customers each year.
The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, located on 17 acres overlooking the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., is America's living memorial to President Kennedy as well as the nation's busiest arts facility. The Center, which opened on September 8, 1971, continues its efforts to fulfill President Kennedy's vision by producing and presenting an unmatched variety of theater and musicals, dance and ballet, orchestral, chamber, jazz, popular, world, and folk music, and multimedia performances for all ages.
MORE THAN A SPORTS BAR AND GRILLE
YOUR HANGOUT SINCE 1976

The Greene Turtle has been a local hangout since 1976 when we opened our first location in Ocean City, Maryland. We’ve come a long way since 1976, spreading our love for food, sports and community across Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, the District of Columbia, West Virginia, New York, New Jersey, and now Pennsylvania with plans to continue our growth throughout the mid-Atlantic region.
