Residents of Baxter Village will soon enjoy the convenience of a Harris Teeter, along with other retail stores and services, right in their own back yard. The corner of Pleasant Road and Highway 160 will be home to a new, 45,250 square foot Harris Teeter, which will anchor an entire retail center at the same location.

This new development by Pleasant Partners, LLC, comprises a three-way joint venture between Raley Miller Properties, Childress Klein Properties and Harris Teeter.

Slated to open in the Spring of 2004, the new Harris Teeter will include a butcher shop, deli, bakery, seafood and wine shop. "The quality and reputation of Harris Teeter is a perfect fit for Baxter Village. It's a great addition to the area," said Alan Marshall, Director of Commercial Sales and Leasing for Clear Springs Development Company.

Over 380 families currently live in Baxter, and the community recently opened a new phase for further development. The neighborhood is now home to a public library, elementary school, Urgent Care Center and restaurants, with a 60,000 square foot YMCA breaking ground this summer.

The Village of Baxter is a mixed-use neighborhood being developed by Clear Springs Development Company. The 1,033-acre development will include approximately 1,325 homes at build-out, as well as more than 400 acres of open space.
