Harris Teeter's $253M Charlotte-Area Expansion Under Construction

Harris Teeter is moving ahead with a $253 million Charlotte-metro investment now under construction at multiple sites. The program covers three new stores in Fort Mill, S.C., Lake Wylie, S.C., and Kannapolis, N.C., plus renovations at select existing area stores. Construction began in April 2025; new stores open in early 2027.

The Fort Mill store, Catawba Ridge Market, broke ground in April 2025 on a 45-acre site at Fort Mill Parkway and South Dobys Bridge Road, targeting a spring 2027 opening. It and the Lake Wylie store at WestLake Village will each span 61,000 square feet. The 53,000-square-foot Kannapolis store anchors the Market at Millstone mixed-use development. It will include a Starbucks, a fuel center and a drive-thru pharmacy. Each store will create 100 to 200 retail jobs.

Market at Millstone also includes 304 multifamily units, 133 build-to-rent townhomes, 12,600 square feet of additional retail and a bank branch.

Renovations span stores in Matthews, Waxhaw, Concord, Huntersville, Fort Mill, Rock Hill and other area communities. Upgrades include expanded fresh, bakery and prepared-food areas, updated layouts and fixtures, new decor and signage, cart and parking improvements, and faster pickup and delivery. Grand re-openings are planned for this fall.

Correction, Oct. 21, 2026: An earlier version of this story said the program renovates more than 60 stores and that renovated stores add Starbucks, fuel stations and drive-thru pharmacies. Harris Teeter has not said how many stores it will renovate, and those amenities are planned for the new Kannapolis store.
