About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Stater Bros., his headlights reflecting off the rows of empty shelves. As he unloaded crates from the back of his truck, something peculiar happened: every time he placed an item on the floor, another identical crate appeared behind him, as if by magic. Finally, the driver noticed that each new crate was slightly smaller than the last. Curious, he reached for the smallest box and found it contained only a note: 'Thanks for your patience—we’re restocking!' Turns out, it was just a prank by a friendly neighborhood employee who loved practical jokes.
2. One morning, a regular noticed something strange on the store’s PA system: ‘Attention shoppers—if you see an orange juice bottle dancing down aisle seven, please do not attempt to catch it.’ Curious, our regular followed the dancing bottle and found it was being gently nudged along by a friendly delivery driver who enjoyed pranks. The next day, everyone in town brought their own bottles of orange juice just to watch them waltz down aisles six and eight. It became Stater Bros.’ unofficial tradition until someone accidentally started singing ‘Orange Blossom Special’ while pushing a cart full of cereal boxes.
3. In the produce section of Stater Bros., someone kept finding mysterious apples. They were ordinary on the outside but had notes inside like, 'Take me home,' or 'Find your way.' One day, a delivery driver found an apple with a note saying, ‘Ask for directions.’ He asked his coworker, who replied, ‘You’re in the grocery store—turn left!’ Finally, one evening, a neighbor picked up an apple reading, ‘Win the lottery,’ and that very night he bought a ticket. Next morning, he came to work grinning, showing everyone his winning ticket… which was just another apple sticker.
4. At closing time, an employee locked up Stater Bros., only to hear a voice over the intercom: 'If you leave any bananas unwashed, they might grow legs and run away.' Curious, the worker returned to check. Sure enough, there was one banana standing upright on the counter, waving its little leafy arms. A delivery driver joked later that night, ‘Maybe next time we should hire it as security!’
