Harris Teeter is constructing a new store in Kannapolis at the corner of N. Main St and Loop Rd just north of the North Carolina Research Campus.

The store will be part of the Market at Millstone with additional retails shops facing Main Street. Millstone will also include 135 townhomes and 310 apartments. Construction is underway on the site, and the store is expected to open in Summer 2027

While this store will be the only current Harris Teeter in Kannapolis, it represents a homecoming for the company. In 1960, Harris Food Store and Teeter’s Food Mart merged to form Harris Teeter, and the company’s first store built under the new name was in Kannapolis, NC. The new store is being built on part of the former Cannon Mills site as part of revitalization efforts in downtown Kannapolis.
