Danville\u2019s Harris Teeter to close by end of March<\/a><\/p>\nIt’s a shame. The store was pretty much abandoned by the corporate office’s mindset, having been stuck in the 1980’s while the rest of the HT stores continued to remodel and market to a demographic that Danville wasn’t even close to matching. The 30 remaining employees will be “offered a position within the company”, but that means a 40 mile drive to the nearest stores in Greensboro, and I’m betting that less than five take that option. It truly is a shame.<\/p>\n
I’ll try and talk to Jennifer Thompson in the next few days and see why she was “mistaken” on her earlier statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
