Former Harris Teeter/Bi-Lo on Roper Mountain Road

[PuppiesandKittens]

As I see that "g-man430" has posted false information about this store on another site, I'll correct the misinformation:

This was built as a Harris Teeter and then became a Bi-Lo.  It was never a Winn-Dixie, despite "g-man430"'s misinformation.  Nor was it a Bi-Lo first.

This kind of false information makes me question everything else that "g-man430" posts.

^^^This is correct. It was originally an HT. Built ca. 1996. Our main grocery store till we moved away in '97. Had a humidor and a great beer selection (this was before Total Wine).

However, I recuse myself from any Gman controversy.

Thanks, all. Yes, this is minor, but this board (and other ones) is useful only to the extent that people post accurate information.  Intentionally or negligently posting misinformation on social media is not a good thing (not saying that "g-man430" did either, or that "g-man430" on the other board is gman430 on this one; this is just a general observation).

might not have been intentional, might have just been wrong.

I saw it.  I thought he was just joking because there had been some back and forth (HT- Bi-Lo)

My particular memory of that Teeter was it being  open 24 hours too when it first opened. That was during my staying out late days and I lived in an apartment off the Butler Rd exit.. We often would make a swing off that exit after midnight to grab one of those cook at home pizza's from the HT deli . Good times.

I also remember the sideways  Winn Dixie on Pelham that was all brick in the front.  You had to go through a courtyard on the right to enter.

Other than that Bloom on S. P'burg, this is the last freestanding grocery store I can think of. I imagine nobody does that anymore?? Well, Aldi & Lidl are exceptions. I guess I mean big boxes.

It was a Floor & Decor.

It still is.  And yes I was joking about it being a Winn Dixie.

I didn't know if it was still there.

The statement was false because it IS a Floor & Decor.

Speaking of former Harris Teeter's where does construction stand on the one near  Brushy Creek/Hudson Rd at its former location?  It was supposed to open in early 23.

I had no idea if it was still that, but I knew it definitely was the last time I was over there.

It is finally out of the ground last time I was by there.

Thank you!  Maybe they had material delays like the new Publix @ Furman.  Construction on that store  had some birthday's. lol I think it's on Year 2 of construction now.  Should be opening  soon.

 So the Winn Dixie on Roper Mountain is going to become an Aldi:

False on many counts.

As the article says, the Winn-Dixie name is being kept on some stores.
