Harris Teeter is planning to close its store in the North Bethesda Center before the end of July, the company said Monday evening in an email to customers.
“After careful consideration, we have decided to close” the store at 11845 Old Georgetown Road, the email said. “The store closing date will be on or before July 20.”
The email did not explain why the store, which opened in 2008, would be closing. The location is about a mile and a half from a Wegman’s grocery store scheduled to open Wednesday at 1590 Rockville Pike.
However, the store appears to be one of four closures in the region, including three stores in Northern Virginia, that have been announced by Harris Teeter.
“We have been honored to proudly serve your neighborhood over the last 17 years,” the email to local customers said. “We look forward to continuing to serve you at one or more of our many area locations.”
Harris Teeter also operates stores in downtown Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Potomac, Olney and Clarksburg.
