Harris Teeter Opens in Adams Morgan!

Harris Teeter is now open in Ward One! The grocery is the first Harris Teeter in the District. It is located at 17th and Kalorama Rd, NW.

I joined Mayor Fenty this morning for the ribbon cutting. The store was built on the second floor of the old Citadel building – restoring a once neglected and vacant building. The 37,000 sq. ft grocery store created about 200 new jobs and has a two-story parking garage. The improved lighting and pedestrian traffic will greatly improve public safety.

I am pleased to welcome Harris Teeter to the Ward One community. I am sure the store will be a great success.
