Harris Teeter construction update - Bethesda's first Harris Teeter (Photos)

The interior of the future Harris Teeter grocery store in the Flats at 8300 luxury apartments is actually starting to resemble...a grocery store. Produce section sign? Check. Shelving and cases? Check.

They've also installed the tile flooring. The store, located at 8300 Wisconsin Avenue (but accessed from Woodmont Avenue), is expected to open later this summer.

I am very relieved to see that this appears to be one of the more upscale Harris Teeter store models. We have been to various Harris Teeters in the south (our daughter had an interest in Duke University, which, fortunately, appears to have just been a phase) and their stores are either upscale approach a lower-upper store like wholefoods, or filthy and disgusting, no better than a Food Lion. Just the name Harris Teeter alone did not indicate which of their store types you were dealing with and that was very unsettling.

Kudos to the executive management at Harris Teeter for making the right choice for Bethesda.

You obviously haven't been to any of their stores in this region. They're all immaculate. The service also happens to be fantastic. So excited to have a HT in the hood!

I'm really excited for this Harris Teeter. Walking by the past few weeks though it's looked like this for a while. Such slow progress.

I think you meant 'approaching' Poppy. Stop posting before your first mimosa of the day.

Is Robert Harris Teeter material?

Hint: No.

I went to the one in Park Potomac, and the butcher could not state with certainty if the beef was USDA Prime or USDA Choice. This despite the fact they had a prominent display case where they dry-age their beef in-house.

Isn't that like Butcher 101 to know your meat grades?

We're getting a Teet in Bethesda! Even more exciting is getting a grocery in that area of Bethesda.

Hans Riemer did a great job securing a new grocery option in downtown Bethesda.

Once something has been aged, it loses its grade designation. Also, it would be very hard to find a true upper end prime grade at a grocery. As the entire animal is declared canner, utility, select, choice, or prime and not the section or cut.

Yes Riemer and the county Council did a great job securing this gateway building with so much much needed housing and a great anchor tenant.

Dear Poppy; I'm soo sorry your snobby demeanor does not warrant you a Wegeman's, why even PG County out ranked you on that one, or even a Dean & DeLuca. Maybe you can lower your standards and enter the realm of the HT aka southern Kroger Foods like the mass of B'town wannabes. Your food stamps are welcomed at HT.

They obviously need to up their security measures if you snuck in to take these pics Dyer

You do realize that Kroger is Southern too?

I think 6:50 point is they have the same ownership.
On July 9, 2013, Kroger announced its acquisition of the 212 stores of Charlotte-based Harris Teeter.

It'll be the most empty store in Bethesda just the way I like it. A little pricier sometimes than Giant but I love how empty it always is at least that's the way Rockville is. And often times Montrose too.

The Rockville one (across from White Flint) is in a bad location to begin with. Isn't there a Whole Foods in that same mall too?

Nope. The HT is Old Georgetown and Nebel.
Whole Foods is across from the old White Flint Mall at Woodglen & Executive.
