Does anyone know where the store got its name?

Was it a family name or maybe someone who practiced the art of teeting founded it? I think it is an odd name for a store. I wonder how this place got its name. And does anyone know where the first store was? Was it the one over in Vienna over where the Fuddrucker's used to be?

Ask Professor Wikipedia.
Harris and Teeter both worked for the A&P Tea Company (Ass and Penis) but had an epiphany after a randy North Carolina night with a Piggly Wiggly.

Yes, I heard about that incident. It was later debunked, though. I wonder about Harris. Was he a farmer of some sorts? And Teeter? Was he involved in teeting cows for milk?

It really is a strange name and I wonder about it sometimes.
