A retail shift in Morrisville worth noting for building owners and business operators.
Harris Teeter plans to close its grocery store at McCrimmon Corners on Davis Drive by April 17, leaving the town without a location. The store currently employs 70–80 associates, who may transfer to nearby stores in Cary and across the Triangle.
This follows a broader move by parent company Kroger to close about 60 stores by the end of 2026 as part of a strategic market review.
CRE implications:
- Grocery-anchored centers remain competitive — this location sits near multiple major chains.
- Potential anchor vacancy opportunity for repositioning or new tenants.
- Retail strategy is shifting, even for established grocery brands.
For property owners and investors, closures like this often create leasing and redevelopment opportunities in strong trade areas.
