Potomac Yard Harris Teeter to Reopen in October

'Now Hiring' sign outside the Harris Teeter store near Potomac YardThe Harris Teeter at 3600 S. Glebe Road, near Potomac Yard, is getting closer to reopening.

The grocery store closed in May 2012 after it was flooded with raw sewage, the result of a clog at the nearby Arlington County Water Pollution Control Plant. The contents of the store were scrapped, and construction on a brand new interior has been underway since this spring, when the company announced plans to reopen later this year.

Harris Teeter is now hiring personnel for the store, according to a number of online job listings posted over the past 10 days. The store reapplied for a Virginia ABC wine and beer license and keg permit on Monday.

The store will reopen at some point in October, Harris Teeter spokeswoman Catherine Becker told ARLnow.com yesterday.
