Harris Teeter is looking to change the perception of what many people consider to be the unluckiest day, Friday the 13th, with a gas giveaway. The grocer is celebrating the grand-opening week of its newest Harris Teeter Fuel Center, at 1930 West Palmetto Street in Florence, S.C., Oct. 11-17. As a part of this week-long celebration, Harris Teeter will give away $10,000 worth of fuel on Friday, Oct. 13, to the first 200 customers in line.

Here’s how it will work: Starting at 6 a.m., the first 200 cars in line will receive a $50 Harris Teeter fuel gift card. A Harris Teeter associate will assist the customer in filling up the customer’s tank and paying with the fuel gift card. The customer keeps any balance on the card.

A variety of vendors, including Monster, Coke, Pepsi and Red Bull, will be on site for even more giveaways and samples.
