About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a Stater Bros. employee noticed something peculiar on the store’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers, please be advised that our self-checkout aisle now accepts groceries as payment.’ No one knew why or how it happened, but soon customers started lining up with bags of produce and boxes of cereal instead of cash. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire through town. A regular stopped by the manager's desk with an armful of bananas and asked if he could pay his electric bill. The manager smiled and said, 'Why not? It’s working for everyone else!' And thus, for a week, Stater Bros. became the unofficial grocery bank of the neighborhood—until someone accidentally scanned a carton of milk for $100,000.
2. At dawn one day, an early bird shopper entered Stater Bros., only to notice that every item in the dairy section had mysteriously changed labels—milk became yogurt, cheese turned into butter, and sour cream swapped places with whipped cream. Curious, she picked up a carton of ‘yogurt’ and tried it—it tasted like milk. Confused but amused, she decided to check out. At the cash register, the checkout lady smiled knowingly, saying, 'Morning, honey. Just be sure to read the labels twice before you leave!'
3. At closing time, a security guard locked up Stater Bros. and switched off the lights. As he walked towards the door, he heard a faint voice whispering from inside: 'Don’t forget to grab some milk.' The guard ignored it, but as he reached for the door handle, he felt something cold press against his back. ‘And don’t forget eggs,’ whispered a voice. Turning around, he saw nobody—until he looked into the dairy section, where an old carton of milk winked at him. He laughed and thought, ‘Must be a regular prankster.’
4. One night, a delivery driver pulled into the loading dock of Stater Bros., puzzled by a strange note taped to his truck's windshield: 'Welcome home!' Curious, he followed the note’s cryptic instructions and found himself in front of an old grocery store on the other side of town. To his surprise, it was his own house—just like the note said. Turns out, his wife had arranged this little prank because she missed him during his late shifts. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing that sometimes life can be as mysterious—and delightfully confusing—as a shopping trip at Stater Bros.
