The Myth, the Legend: Harris Teeter

Some call it The Empire, and some call it the best thing since Jesus, but most just call it Harris Teeter. This beautiful company was actually conceived (much like Jesus) through a coalition between two small town grocery stores. One was owned by W.T. Harris in Charlotte and the other by Willis and Paul Teeter in Mooresville ( . Y . ) <--teets for visual learners. Both of these markets began in the mid-late 30s, and grew substantially through the passing decades. Eventually, however, each owner owned multiple grocery stores and in 1960, they decided to merge and create Harris Teeter.
Fifteen stores were already open and in operation after the merger, so Harris Teeter grew rapidly. This rapid expansion drew the attention of the Ruddick Corporation in Charlotte, which bought Harris Teeter in 1969 (LAWL). There was now a steady incline for the Harris Teeter company as it continued to open more stores in and around North Carolina. The 80s, however, would be the true game changer with a boom (much like the creation of the Universe) in sales and stores. This was due to the company's new acquisition of Hunter Farms Dairy in High Point NC, which allowed Harris Teeter to distribute and sell dairy products at lower rates.
From here on out Harris Teeter had pretty smooth sailing. New stores were appearing (we have 235, and mine is number 43), and it had become the most prominent grocery store in NC (with those miserable Food Lion cousin fucks in second). But unfortunately not all was smooth sailing. In 2013 the illustrious Harris Teeter was bought out by Kroger, which I'm not really happy about. I mean, I'm glad that Harris Teeter is expanding, but Kroger? It's not a question of how many Kroger employees it takes to screw in a light bulb, Harris Teeter does that for them. The question for Kroger is if they can find the fucking light switch and not burn down the whole store, yet they buy out MY EMPIRE. YOU'RE FUCKING KIDDING ME? THIS IS AMERICA AND I WILL NOT LOSE TO SOME KROGER FAGOT IN A BLUE DICKIE WITH A HAND IN HIS PANTS AND A COCK IN HIS MOUTH. THIS IS NOT SOME COCK CHOKING ANIMAL PORNO WHERE THE PROTAGONIST JUST CRIES AND IT KINDA MAKES YOU FEEL BAD, THIS IS HARRIS TEETER...........thank you for reading.
