About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on groceries, an announcement crackled over Stater Bros.’ intercom: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received our latest shipment of invisible bananas. Please be careful when reaching for them!’ A delivery driver, scratching his head, asked aloud, 'How do you even ship something that’s not there?' A nearby customer, laughing, replied, 'Must be a new trick from those banana farmers!' And so, for the rest of the day, shoppers carefully searched for ghostly bananas while store employees discreetly pointed them in the direction of real ones.
2. One day, while loading groceries into her car, a woman noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. ‘Why is there always a shadow of a shopping cart following me out of here?’ As she turned around, she saw no cart—just an empty parking space. Shrugging it off as her imagination playing tricks, she drove home. Later that night, while unpacking groceries, she found a small note stuck inside a bag of apples: ‘Just wanted to remind you to watch your back when leaving Stater Bros.’ It was signed simply, ‘A concerned shopper.’
3. One night, after closing, a delivery driver heard strange noises coming from the freezer section. Curious, he peeked inside and found a sign taped to one of the frozen pizzas: ‘Buy two, get one manager.’ Confused, the driver took a picture and sent it to his friend, who worked in another store nearby. The next morning, when they opened up, everyone laughed as they realized the sign was actually meant for a local pizza place across the street. From then on, whenever anyone ordered extra pizza, someone would jokingly whisper, 'Remember Stater Bros.—buy two, get one manager!'
4. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to unload fresh produce. As he approached the back door, he heard a voice whispering from inside: ‘Just one more box…’ Curious, he glanced around but saw no one. Just as he turned away, another soft voice said, 'Please, just one more crate.' He looked again—still empty. Shaking his head, he shrugged it off and continued loading boxes. Later that day, a neighbor joked, 'Did you hear Stater Bros is hiring ghosts?' The delivery driver smiled and replied, 'Nah, they’re just short-staffed today.'
