Harris Teeter Hosts UVA 'College Night'

On the heels of a highly successful first event, Harris Teeter is offering University of Virginia students the opportunity to ace their budget-friendly food shopping needs with a 20 percent discount off their entire purchase during the grocer's College Night, set for this Friday, Sept. 12.

Shoppers with a valid UVA student ID and who have joined Harris Teeter’s Student Rewards program will be eligible for the 20 percent discount, which applies up to a $500 maximum order (after all coupons and VIC discounts are deducted) on purchases made between 8 and 11 p.m. The discount excludes tobacco, tickets, gift cards, money orders and wire transfers.

“Harris Teeter has been a part of the Charlottesville community for many years, and we offer exceptional savings to all of our shoppers who choose to join both our VIC and e-VIC loyalty programs,” said Danna Jones, communication manager for Harris Teeter. “We also work closely with the University of Virginia to offer Cavs’ additional discounts at our stores. Our first College Night was such a success, and we hope to re-emphasize our commitment to the university students by putting a bit of excitement back into the grocery shopping experience.”

The College Night event, which will be held at Harris Teeter’s Barracks Road store, 975 Emmet St. in Charlottesville, will also feature live entertainment and free samples. Students not already enrolled in the College Rewards program will be able to sign-up prior to the event.
