Harris Teeter has confirmed that five of its stores will be shutting.
The large majority are set to close by July 20, and the last one by August 4.
Until the stores are closed, customers can get 50% off the inventory.
Kroger, the parent company behind Harris Teeter, have said that this is part of a larger closure wave taking place.
The parent company is aiming to close 60 Harris Teeter stores across the next 18 months.
Kroger said that the closures have come after a “careful consideration and strategic market review.”
One of the stores closing can be found in Bethesda, Maryland.
Harris Teeter sent an email to members at the Maryland store alerting them of the upcoming closure.
“After careful consideration, we have decided to close this location. The store closing date will be on or before July 20, 2025.”
The North Bethesda Center Harris Teeter is located at 11845 Old Georgetown Rd., Bethesda, Md.
This particular location has operated as a Harris Teeter since September 2008.
“We look forward to continuing to serve you at one or more of our many area locations. Directions from your location are available on either harristeeter.com or through our mobile app,” the company added.
The store is operating its usual business hours, 6am to 11pm, until it closes.
