About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while loading groceries into his car, a regular noticed something strange: every time he parked near Stater Bros., a faint humming sound followed him home. No one else seemed to hear it. Finally, curious neighbors organized a late-night stakeout. The humming grew louder as they approached—only to discover it was coming from an old refrigerator left in the store’s loading bay. After that, everyone joked that Stater Bros. had its own secret nightlife, complete with fridge parties.
2. A delivery driver was unloading crates of oranges when he heard an unusual sound coming from inside one crate. Curious, he opened it carefully and found himself face-to-face with a tiny orange-haired monkey who seemed just as surprised. The delivery driver gently picked up the little fellow, noticing his tiny orange tail wiggling nervously. Turns out, Stater Bros. had mistakenly shipped some exotic monkeys along with their produce. A few days later, a regular customer saw the same monkey playing near the bananas and exclaimed, ‘Hey, isn’t that our new store mascot?’
3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, as a delivery driver was unloading crates of bananas, he suddenly noticed that some of the fruit seemed to be moving on their own. Curious, he picked up one banana, and it seemed to whisper something about needing help finding its way home. Startled, he looked around but saw no one. Just then, an elderly neighbor walked by, laughing and saying, ‘Ah, those pesky bananas always seem to get lost in the mist.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, realizing it was just another Stater Bros. mystery.
4. One day, as a delivery driver was unloading boxes of bananas, he overheard an elderly customer muttering, ‘I’ve never seen so many bananas that look like they’re smiling back at you!’ The delivery driver smiled and thought, ‘Maybe these bananas are just having a good day!’ From then on, whenever someone mentioned Stater Bros., people would say, “It’s not just groceries—it’s a smiley banana experience!”
