How a trip to the grocery store can change the world [Partner]
We love multitasking. Netflix and relaxing, working and online shopping, cornhole throwing and brew sipping, walking the dog and fidget spinning. Now you can add another awesome twofer to your list – grocery shopping and changing the world. Every time you visit your neighborhood Harris Teeter for milk, fruit loops, apples, avocados and toast, you can make a difference. Here’s how.
Support local brands
Harris Teeter was born in Matthews, NC so they know a thing or two about being local. Now they make finding the more than 33 foods and products with a hometown connection easy to spot through the HT Home Town Campaign. When you find Texas Pete, Lance and TendaBake pancake mixes and others – you are buying from your friends and neighbors. I mean what would the world be without Cheerwine and Krispy Kreme doughnuts? We don’t want to find out.
Create jobs
When your favorite Harris Teeter Home Town products land in your cart, you help create jobs. Every purchase of a Harris Teeter Home Town product helps grow local businesses, adds to the workforce and helps companies serve their communities. Karma has never tasted so delicious.
Help the environment
The equation is easy. Nearby companies who deliver high-quality Home Town products to your favorite Harris Teeter stores spend less time and energy on transportation and production. That means decreased time on the road, lower energy costs and a fresher eating experience for all. We love win-win.
Giving back
Shopping at your neighborhood Harris Teeter means supporting a company that believes in its role as a responsible community member. Harris Teeter’s long tradition of philanthropy extends from local sports to education, food banks to disaster relief, serving our U.S. service men and women and more. Supporting a company that supports the community – now that is something we can sink our teeth in to.
The next time you make the perfect tomato sandwich, you can use one hand to spread Harris Teeter’s Home Town Duke’s Mayonnaise and the other to pat yourself on the back. Enjoy your killer lunch and your chance to change the world.
