Interestingly enough, although Wards Corner is a major retail intersection in Norfolk at the corner of Granby Street and Little Creek Road, there's only one surviving supermarket, and it's this 53,000 square foot Harris Teeter. The store opened in 2014 as a new-build on the site of a strip mall that doesn't seem to have contained a supermarket, and it also seems like it didn't replace an older HT somewhere nearby.

Other stores that were previously in the area include Kroger and Farm Fresh, and if you go back a couple more decades, an A&P. Side note: I thought I had a picture of the Farm Fresh, but I don't. I have a picture of a different former Farm Fresh. Oh well.

While I didn't go in, the interior looks quite beautiful.

And although it's not technically at Wards Corner (it's a little under a mile east, at Little Creek and Tidewater), Food Lion today also remains in the area. That'll be tomorrow's store tour, so come back to check it out!
