We posted a video about the new Village At Robinhood shopping Center back on the 5th showing a nearly completed Harris Teeter along with BB&T, McDonald’s and others. Well in driving by the shopping center this past weekend I noticed things were a bit different:

It appears Harris Teeter has pulled out before they even opened. The signage is down and no further work has been done for at least a week according to local employees. We were told everything was online to open the doors the first week of March then all of a sudden a crew came out and took down all signage and that was the last anyone has seen go on. This would appear to be part of the company announcement that they will be cutting back from 19 new stores in 2009 to 16. So what happens to a strip mall when the anchor store closes before opening?
