Harris Teeter in North Old Town to Open in Late October

The new Harris Teeter at 500 Madison St. in North Old Town will be opening in late October, according to Harris Teeter spokeswoman Danna Jones.

The grocery store is located in the same building as The Kingsley, a new luxury apartment building that saw its first tenant move in recently, in June. The building features studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms advertised from $1,850 for a studio, $2,085 for a one bedroom, and starting at $2,795 for a two-bedroom.

The store will have a pharmacy, Express Lane Online Shopping and will be approx. 51,500 square feet.

The new North Old Town Harris Teeter will join several other Harris Teeter stores in the area including ones at Shirlington Village, Foxchase on Duke Street, Pentagon Row and Potomac Yard; the Potomac Yard location reopened last October after being closed for 18 months due to flood damage issues.

Residents in the area also have a nearby Safeway and Trader Joe’s to choose from.

In other area grocery store news, the Safeway being rebuilt for a reported $11 million at King Street and Quaker Lane in Alexandria is expected to open in early December.

An upgrade in place of the current Giant store at 425 E. Monroe Ave., has been much discussed; an ad for the location, by the owner of the property, notes that the building will become available in February 2016.
