The grand opening of the Tysons Corner Harris Teeter will be held on Tuesday, January 13, 2009.

The store will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily and will offer a full-service pharmacy, in-store Starbucks and dining, full-service floral department, wine consultant, hot foods bar, salad and fresh fruit bars, and a variety of gourmet grocery selections.
During the Taste of Teeter, visitors will also be able to tour The Lofts at Park Crest, a residence that combines cutting-edge urban design with resort-style amenities and pedestrian-friendly convenience. Those who live at The Lofts can walk to the Tysons Galleria shopping mall, which includes such popular restaurants as Maggiano’s, Wildfire, Legal Seafoods, Lebanese Taverna, and Corner Bakery along with upscale anchors Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, and many posh boutiques.
Adjacent to the Galleria is the 2.4 million SF Tysons Corner Center, the 11th largest shopping mall in the country, with Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, Bloomingdale’s, a 16-screen AMC Multiplex movie theater, and numerous other shops, restaurants, and services.

In addition to The Lofts at Park Crest, the community also includes a 19-story luxury condominium tower.
