The Harris Teeter in Fulton is scheduled to open at 5:30 pm, October 6, 2009, according to the Maple Lawn developer.
(Update -- Click here for the latest news on Harris Teeter in Maple Lawn.)
Stuart Greenbaum spoke at last night's Maple Lawn annual meeting, and he said that Harris Teeter on Rte 216 has that official start date five months in the future. Like me, he says that the store looks like they could open far sooner. He says the developers have finished their work on the site, and they would love Harris Teeter to open before October. But the schedule has some connection to Harris Teeter's fiscal year.
Harris Teeter's parent company appears to have a fiscal year that starts October 1.
In other Maple Lawn news, the developers said they're in talks with two people about replacing the Daily Grind coffee shop with a morning/breakfast restaurant. Mrs. HowChow would love a Starbucks. No one mentioned the name of the possible tenant, but Greenbaum talked about how Starbucks is closing stores, so that dream doesn't appear likely. They said they hope to have some news in a few weeks because they want that site occupied for their commercial tenants.
Before it was a Daily Grind, it was a Starbucks.
ReplyDeleteJust heard the Harris Teeter pulled out of Maple Lawn... with the building all but completed... not sure what the developer will do now...
ReplyDeleteAs of yesterday there was a sign as you walked out of the HT in King's Contrivance that they're hiring for the Maple Lawn location. That certainly suggests they're still coming.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's now big Harris Teeter signs on the building itself, so it looks like it's coming for sure!
ReplyDeleteOfficial Grand Opening notices are now posted on bulletin boards in Maple Lawn promising free tastings etc. on opening day Oct 6 from 5:30 pm
