Charlotte's Davis Lake Harris Teeter's Grand Opening August 8th, 2012
The Shoppes at Davis Lake welcome the new Harris Teeter grand opening tomorrow August 8th, 2012 at 6am. Regular store hours are 6am - 11pm. It looks like they will do a little pomp and circumstance tomorrow morning at 8am to open the store. Hooray, we get a grocery store back after it closed (as the former Lowe's Grocery) essentially two months ago.
Word is that it is double coupon day at the Teeter too.
Wednesday, hump day gets a bump from Harris Teeter Opening
The classy semi trailer draped with a sign in the parking lot at the Shoppes at Davis Lake in North Charlotte 28269 has gone from "Harris Teeter Coming Soon!" to "Harris Teeter Opens Wednesday!" The eye popping yellow background does catch the eye. I am just picking on Harris Teeter, for the short term I don't think there is much better way to communicate the new store location and grand opening more effectively than with the removable tractor trailer sign. That still sounds sarcastic, even though that is not my intention. It is hard not to sound sarcastic about a fancy city-like semi trailer sign found at most flea markets.
I know that the former Lowe's Grocery Store offered some type of online shopping, but I don't feel as though they ever advertised it properly. Maybe I am wrong, maybe many people used it and that I never saw anyone using it at Lowe's Grocery at Davis lake doesn't mean it wasn't used. Harris Teeter has more clearly (at least to me) advertised they offer online shopping and pickup.

Davis Lake Harris Teeter Opening August...
So the Lowe's Grocery Stores in Charlotte, NC were bought out by Harris Teeter and Harris Teeter sold and swapped stores with Lowe's Grocery elsewhere in the state. Who cares? You're right, who cares. All I care about right now is when is the Harris Teeter (HT) going to open at the Shoppes at Davis lake in North Charlotte. It's tough losing my neighborhood grocery store for the last six weeks while HT came in to the old Lowe's Grocery at Davis Lake to Teeter-fy it.
August 8, 2012 is the posted open date for the Davis Lake Harris Teeter (HT). HT gave an exclusive interview to the Davis Lake Blog - off the record of course, but I will share some of the information here - HT shared some cool, some useless and all interesting factoids about the HT at Davis Lake. A few cool facts:
- The store needed a really good cleaning, but the HT rep. said the store was among the better taken care of among the Lowe's Grocery stores HT purchased. I think that says a lot about the Staff at the Lowe's Grocery at Davis Lake.
- Many of the former Lowe's Grocery employees at Davis Lake were hired to stay on at the new HT.
- Construction is going on for the better part of the day, some days as much as around the clock. Time is money and the longer the store takes to open it is costing HT $$$.

Davis Lake Fitness Room Review
UPDATE: July 31, 2012
The Davis Lake fitness room has a new-to-it TV. Funny to celebrate the minimum, but we will.
Davis Lake Fitness Room |
Do check out the fitness room sign-in sheet, it has hilarious suggestions, complaints on the general lack of attention and upkeep with the fitness room. Former Davis Lake Board member Tom Wolf has even wrote on the sign up sheet telling people to quit complaining and do something about the poor condition of the fitness room. Sadly, Tom Wolf is just the type of person who usually sits on the Davis Lake Board, not very good customer service.
I think that is what former Board member Tom Wolf is failing to see, the homeowners pay a fee for a service for the Davis Lake Board Homeowners/Community Association, the Board has a fiduciary duty to the members and I think people are wondering why the amenities are in such poor condition. There are many examples of money better spent, like the redundant street sign memorials that cost a reported $35k+ a pop.
The Davis Lake fitness room is looking pretty sad, although I am not sure if it ever looked pristine. The floors are dirty and the smell of musty mold is strong. I am assuming the air quality is not the greatest while I am huff and puffing in the basement fitness room. There is one floor fan, the same model that is sold at Home Depot (I hope they bought it at Charlotte's own Lowe's Companies and supported the home town folks). The weights are even rusty from the humidity in the fitness room.
The choices of exercise machines is poor, meaning that aren't many and they are a few that don't work properly (hello possible negligence lawsuit). I have no idea when, if ever, the fitness room was cleaned. The floors are covered in dirt and general filth. There was no vacuum cleaner, I looked.
Many of you may be thinking "wow, is that an old CRT Tube TV?" Yes it is. The worst part is that as of today it is not even there. The old TV quit, meaning it stopped working entirely and it was removed in the last week or so. The picture quality was as good as you would think from a Sanyo beauty of this era.
I saw this past week in the Davis Lake Home Owners email that the Davis Lake Board of Directors is asking for someone to donate a TV. I am guessing after putting in the redundant neighborhood street name monuments recently the Davis Lake Board of Directors tapped out the Home Owner's reserves for a new TV. I new 32" LCD TV costs less than $400, peanuts to the $600,000 in Home owner dues revenue.
The best for last: the Davis Lake fitness room is in need of cleaning. There are papers and dirt tracked in all over the floor. Dirty fitness equipment is just the start, there are bugs. Do spiders count as bugs? For our purposes they do. I wonder if Highland Creek has better fitness rooms?

Davis Lake Board Member Wins "Lawn of the Month" - again.
Davis Lake "Lawn of the Month" sign in Davis Lake Board Member Terry Potts' yard July 2012.. |
It is admirable the Davis Lake ARB was able to look past the large, unshielded Duke Energy power box in the front yard area of Terry Potts' Chimney Ridge Trail front yard in recognizing the beauty of her front lawn for the second time in the past 18-months (according to the Davis Lake Neighborhood Communique). The other homes in the Deer Cross section of Davis lake need to pick up their game to Terry Potts' level to make sure she doesn't bring home the yard of the month for a third time in less than two-years.
Other notable sitting Davis Lake Board Members beat out their neighbors they serve for the Lawn of the Month accolades too, notably Board Member Betty Lee.
