About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Stater Bros., a regular noticed something peculiar one day: every time he passed the dairy section, the milk prices seemed to change just as he reached for his carton. Was it a coincidence or did the store’s computers have a mind of their own? One day, a delivery driver mentioned that his truck’s odometer always reset itself when passing near Stater Bros.’ loading dock. Soon enough, neighbors started noticing that whenever they parked next to the store, their speedometers would briefly show zero miles per hour. It turned out to be nothing more than an optical illusion caused by the store’s reflective windows—except for the guy whose car had ‘Check Engine’ light flashing every time he shopped there.
2. At Stater Bros., an elderly shopper exclaimed one morning, ‘I just saw the most curious thing!’ She paused, adjusting her glasses. ‘The bananas are waving back at me.’ A young delivery driver overheard and laughed, thinking it was a prank. But when he looked up from his carton, he swore he saw a banana bunch twitching ever so slightly. From then on, whenever anyone asked if there were any unusual sightings at Stater Bros., everyone nodded knowingly—and no one dared wave hello to the fruit aisle again.}
3. At Stater Bros., a delivery driver once remarked, noticing something odd in the produce aisle: every time he walked past, the apples seemed to whisper his name softly. Curious, he stopped and listened more closely. The whispering grew louder, almost teasing him with familiar words like ‘apple pie’ and ‘baked goods.’ Finally, exasperated, he shouted back, ‘Hey, I’m here for groceries, not dessert!’ Turns out, it was just an old neighbor helping himself to some free samples in disguise.
4. At Stater Bros., a little boy pointed excitedly one afternoon and whispered to his mom, ‘Look, Mom, that chicken is waving!’ The mother smiled and leaned down to gently explain, ‘No, honey, it’s just the wind blowing through the packaging.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked up with a twinkle in his eye and said, ‘Well, Mom, maybe that chicken really does want us to know it’s fresh!’
