Nice find! That is a Lowe's Foods anchored shopping center. Also has a Starbucks, Camelback Brewing (fun local brewery), China Panda, Great Clips, OfficeMax, Dollar Tree and Petsmart.
Went by and took some photos this afternoon. 12 units in total, 9 on the front side and 3 on the back. Looks like all of the Tesla stuff is in place, but there is still a big concrete pad missing some essential electrical component.

Wow, those seemed to pop up fast! I saw the pic on my Facebook feed and it looked completed but thanks @nccars for giving us better pics and inform us that it is waiting on the transformer. It really makes you wonder how fast Tesla could deploy their network if it wasnt for the parts/chip shortage and utility companies slowing down the process.
This is apt to be an under appreciated addition. But it meaningfully alleviates range issues for a number of use cases. Will capture tourist/golfer traffic coming to/from Pinehurst (which is huge and then surges exponentially during pro tournaments); supports Ft Bragg daily commuters from western Sandhills and the Piedmont; supports sandhill area (including Fayetteville) commuters and / or ACC sports enthusiasts to the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill…for those not familiar with local nomenclature) or even the rapidly re-industrializing Triad (Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point).

It is just another hole Tesla is filling in, which is certainly appreciated. NC, SC, & GA and further down the southeast have holes everywhere that aren't along an interstate that are still well traveled.
Although, this is special. This is on 4 (four) US Numbered Highways (3 concurrent and 1 other), including being a Splitter on US-1.
Amongst the holes you mention there is still a sizable gap on US-1 from Florida through to South Carolina. Waycross, GA would be an obvious help.

Yes, it is more of major thoroughfare than some which is why it is a hole that is being filled before others.

Indeed. As referenced over in the Wade NC supercharger discussion, this is also a special spot as the traffic going to Ft Bragg may not be appreciated by those unfamiliar with the scale and scope of that installation. It is my understanding that it is currently the largest military base in the world. Not just USA. There is a large workforce that commutes there daily in support.

Meter has power now but the stalls arent powered. On the bright side there was a car show going on when I went to go check out the site. Should be online any day now!

I knew it wouldn't be too long, everything looks all setup and ready for final inspection this past weekend. It's nice to see another gap filled in the charging network
@Big Earl @corywright
Edit: @nccars Do you have a screenshot of it in your app for evidence that it is online? I live too far away for it to show up in my app and it isnt in the in-car navigation yet.
It still isn't in my in-car nav, either.
Can anyone confirm that they have actually charged here yet?
I plan to swing by this Saturday before lunch, on the way to Chapel Hill. If Sanford isn't really online, I'll just charge up in Chapel Hill.
It did not show up in my in-car nav but I charged there (along with a few others) yesterday.
