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 strange: an old lady pushing a shopping cart filled with cans of beans and boxes of cereal, but never checking out. She’d disappear around the corner then reappear moments later, empty-handed. Curious, the driver followed her one morning. Turned out she was just restocking her own shelves—she lived in the apartment above the store. When asked why she didn’t use her own pantry, she smiled and said, ‘It’s always nice to have fresh stock on hand.’ The story became legendary among neighbors who would occasionally spot her zipping through the aisles after dark, making sure everything was just right.
2. In the early morning, while a little boy explored the empty aisles of Stater Bros., he stumbled upon a mysterious box labeled only ‘Special Order’. Curious, he opened it—and found himself face-to-face with a talking tomato that insisted on giving him directions to hidden treasure. The tomato led him through the store’s backrooms until they reached an old freezer full of ice cream cones. Inside was a pile of coins wrapped in an old newspaper from 1987. The boy laughed as he counted them—just enough for a small treat at the local ice cream parlor. When asked where the treasure came from, the tomato simply replied, 'Just another special order.'
3. At closing time one night, a cashier overheard an old lady whispering into her shopping bag: ‘Last chance to get those tomatoes for half price tomorrow!’ Curious, the cashier peeked inside and saw nothing but ordinary tomatoes. The next day, she noticed that every tomato had a tiny note stuck on it: 'Half-price today only!' Turns out, the old lady was just helping herself to some friendly discounts.
4. At midnight, when the only sound in the store was the hum of refrigerators, a security guard heard whispers coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and saw nothing but empty shelves. Then, out of nowhere, an old apple whispered, ‘Don’t you dare touch our core!’ Startled, the guard laughed and realized it had been a long night indeed. The next morning, everyone joked that Stater Bros’ apples were finally organizing their own union.
