About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most Stater Bros. shoppers were asleep, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the dairy aisle. Rows of milk bottles seemed to shift ever so slightly, as if someone had been quietly rearranging them while everyone slept. Curious, he tiptoed closer and saw a small shadowy figure—an elderly neighbor, pushing an empty cart and humming softly to himself. Turns out, old Mr. Jenkins liked his cereal with extra milk, and every morning he sneaked in to restock his favorite brand before anyone else arrived. The delivery driver smiled, realizing that sometimes the best stories happen right under our noses.
2. At midnight, when the only sound in the parking lot was the hum of refrigerated trucks, an employee heard a soft rustling from inside one of the aisles. Curious, he approached and found… nothing but empty shelves and a faint smile on the face of a nearby mannequin. As he turned around, he noticed that the store’s emergency lights had flickered on, casting eerie shadows across the rows of canned goods. Startled, he quickly left, but later that week, while unloading his truck outside Stater Bros., he swore he saw a familiar silhouette among the boxes—just another late-night hallucination, no doubt.
3. At dusk, when most people were settling down for dinner, an elderly gentleman walked into the Stater Bros. with just one item on his list: a loaf of bread. But as he approached the checkout counter, the cashier noticed something peculiar—each day, no matter what else he bought, Old Mr. Jenkins always paid exactly with three dollar bills, even if his total came out differently every time. One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Mr. Jenkins must be keeping tabs somewhere!’ The next week, the old man showed up with only pennies—and each coin was precisely weighted and counted. From then on, whenever anyone tried to guess why he did it, he’d simply smile and say, “Just because.”
4. In the early morning, before anyone else had arrived, a delivery driver opened the freezer doors and found a note taped inside: ‘Freeze your worries away—take what you need.’ The delivery driver shrugged, took a bag of ice cream, and thought, ‘Well, why not?’ Later that day, a neighbor stopped by with a carton of milk and said, “Someone’s been freezing their worries away again.” Everyone laughed and shook their heads, but no one ever complained—they just helped themselves to whatever was left in the freezer after hours.
