About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Stater Bros., a delivery driver noticed something strange one day: every Wednesday, boxes of bananas seemed to appear in the produce section without anyone bringing them in. No one could explain it, but soon enough, customers started leaving little notes in their baskets—each saying ‘Thanks for the unexpected banana surprise!’ Soon, the mystery became a weekly tradition. On Wednesdays, shoppers would anxiously wait for their free banana windfall. One old lady even left a basket full of handwritten thank-you cards and cookies as a token of appreciation. To this day, no one knows who’s behind the banana surprise—but everyone loves it anyway.
2. At Stater Bros., a young boy entered the store with his mother, clearly excited. As they walked down the aisles, he pointed at an empty shelf and whispered, ‘Mom, why is there only one can of beans left? And it’s winking at us!’ His mom smiled and gently explained, 'Honey, it's just the reflection from that can.' They both laughed, and as they passed another aisle, she noticed something shiny on the floor—a penny. The boy picked it up, rubbed it for good luck, and said, “Now I wish for more yummy treats!” Mom shook her head, smiling, knowing that sometimes wishes come true in unexpected ways.
3. At Stater Bros., a neighborhood dog began sniffing around the produce section late at night. Employees soon noticed that he only did this on Thursdays and always left with an apple in his mouth. One Thursday evening, a delivery driver mentioned seeing ‘the apple dog’ outside near the loading dock. Soon enough, everyone was bringing their own apples for him. It turned out our canine friend had a sweet tooth—and a fan club—like no other. The legend of Stater Bros.’ Thursday Apple Dog lives on as a friendly urban tale.
4. At Stater Bros., an elderly gentleman regularly checked out at the same cash register. One morning, he found a mysterious note taped to his receipt: ‘Your groceries today are on us—just don’t tell anyone!’ The next week, the old man returned with a big smile and whispered to the cashier, 'I’ve got another secret for you!' Turns out, it was just his neighbor who kept paying forward, leaving anonymous notes each time they saw him shopping. The whole neighborhood now enjoys free groceries once in a while—and nobody ever knows when or where it will happen again!
