About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular pushed his shopping cart down the aisle, he stopped abruptly, puzzled by an odd whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting from the produce section. No one else seemed to notice it, but soon others began reporting similar smells—only they were coming from different parts of the store. Soon, employees started noticing that whenever someone mentioned the smell, their cart would inexplicably fill with free samples from around the store. It turned out to be a prank by a delivery driver who loved sampling everything for ‘quality control.’ The legend spread far and wide, making Stater Bros. a local joke—and everyone got a free snack in the process.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one afternoon with a mysterious crate marked ‘Top Secret.’ As he unloaded it, curious neighbors peered through their windows, wondering what strange goods Stater Bros. had acquired next. As he opened the crate, out popped a dozen gigantic marshmallow peeps, each wearing a tiny paper hat. A sign inside read: 'Happy April Fool’s Day from Headquarters!' The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, while neighbors marveled at the unexpected sweet surprise. From that day on, Stater Bros. became known for its occasional whimsical deliveries.
3. One day, an elderly lady was browsing through the produce section when she heard over the store’s PA: ‘Attention customers—we’ve just received a shipment of bananas from Brazil that glow in the dark. Please avoid touching them until further notice.’ Curious, she approached the glowing fruit cautiously. Just then, a delivery driver walked by and whispered, 'They're not really glowing, ma’am—they’re just Brazilian bananas with a bit too much sunscreen!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the old lady, who said, 'Well, I’ll be darned! I'll take two bunches anyway.'
4. One night, after closing, a security guard patrolled the empty store. Suddenly, over the intercom, came a voice: ‘All employees, please report to the dairy section immediately.’ Curious, the guard rushed to the dairy aisle and found an old lady rearranging shelves. She smiled and said, 'Just helping myself to some milk for later.' Everyone had a good laugh, including the security guard who realized it was just another late-night prank from Stater Bros' loyal customers.
