Stater Bros. Markets, founded in Yucaipa, California in 1936, now has 172 locations across Southern California. The stores offer a wide selection of fresh produce, meats, seafood, wine, and groceries. Customers appreciate the friendly cashiers and helpful staff, with many praising the excellent customer service, especially from employees like cashiers and baggers who go out of their way to be kind and attentive. The store is generally clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant shopping environment. However, some customers find the physical stores a bit small, with narrow aisles and portable displays that can cause congestion. The management is seen as fair and reasonable, making the work environment positive for employees. The location next to Mountain Brothers Pizza, Starbucks, and McDonald's adds convenience, despite traffic congestion during busy hours due to the small parking lot. Overall, Stater Bros. Markets is considered a great place for families to shop, offering good service and a friendly atmosphere.
