SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – Stater Bros. is pleased to announce the opening of its newest and most modern Supermarket in Lake Elsinore, California on Wednesday, February 22, 2012. A Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will be held in the parking lot at 8:15 a.m., and the new Stater Bros. Lake Elsinore Supermarket will open for business at 9:00 a.m. After Wednesday, the new Supermarket will be open daily from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Located at 32281 Mission Trail in the Lake Elsinore Town Center, the new Lake Elsinore Supermarket will replace a smaller Stater Bros.
