About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while loading groceries into her car, a neighbor noticed an unusual scent wafting from Stater Bros.’ parking lot. Curious, she followed it to the back of the store and found a delivery driver humming softly as he stacked boxes. His lips moved in time with an unfamiliar tune, and when she asked what song he was singing, he replied, ‘It’s “The Ballad of Stater Bros.”’ Curiously, she leaned closer and realized he wasn’t singing at all—he was whistling the theme from some old TV show. Turns out, his favorite program was a nostalgic sitcom called ‘Market Magic,’ which aired decades ago. From that day on, whenever anyone mentioned Stater Bros., everyone would smile and whisper, ‘Did you hear they’ve got their very own theme song?’
2. One day, as a delivery driver unloaded crates of apples, he heard a strange humming coming from inside one crate. Curious, he opened it and found rows upon rows of tiny singing bananas, their melody filling the air with cheerful notes. Intrigued, the delivery driver took out his phone and recorded the little singers. Soon, social media was abuzz with videos of dancing bananas from Stater Bros. Even the store manager joined in, saying, 'Who knew our bananas were so talented?' The next week, customers brought instruments for an impromptu fruit orchestra concert.
3. One night, after closing, a security guard patrolled the aisles and overheard a voice whispering from behind the bananas: ‘Watch out for those who shop without lists.’ Curious, he followed the sound and found an old apple carton half-hidden among the produce. Inside was a note scribbled in pencil: 'Don’t forget to add apples to your list!' Turns out, it was just a prank by a regular who liked to tease the guards with mysterious messages.
4. In the produce section one afternoon, a little boy pointed excitedly at the bananas and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, look! They’re waving!’ The mother smiled and gently shook her head, replying softly, ‘No honey, they’re just bananas.’ But as she looked closer, she saw another customer laughing and pointing across the aisle. Turns out, an elderly gentleman had been talking to the apples like they were old friends! It was a day at Stater Bros. when even inanimate fruit seemed to come alive… or maybe everyone was just hungry for some fun.
