SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — Plans are well underway to open two new state-of-the-art "Blue Ribbon" Stater Bros. Supermarkets to better serve the communities of Covina (Los Angeles County) and Menifee (Riverside County). These new supermarkets will create over 250 new store level jobs and approximately 300 local construction jobs.
"These two stores are a major investment in Southern California, which Stater Bros. has served for over 78 years," stated Jack H. Brown, Chairman and CEO of Stater Bros. "We want to thank our loyal customers for making it possible for us to continue to grow and serve even more families year after year."
New Covina Stater Bros. Supermarket – Stater Bros. has entered into an agreement to occupy the former Albertsons Supermarket located at the southwest corner of Grand Avenue and Covina Boulevard in Covina. This will be the first Stater Bros. Supermarket location in the City of Covina and the 26th Stater Bros. Supermarket in Los Angeles County. Stater Bros. has served Los Angeles County for over 64 years (since 1950) and currently operates six Stater Bros. Supermarkets in the neighboring communities of Azusa, Glendora, San Dimas, Walnut and West Covina. The 42,390 sq. ft. Supermarket will subsequently undergo a complete remodel and reopen as a "Blue Ribbon" Stater Bros. Supermarket before the end of this year.
New Menifee Stater Bros. Supermarket – Stater Bros. will be building a new "Blue Ribbon" Stater Bros. Supermarket at the southeast corner of Menifee Road and Newport Road. This new 44,000 sq. ft. Menifee Stater Bros. Supermarket will be the third location for Stater Bros. in the City of Menifee and demonstrates Stater Bros.' commitment to the Menifee community it has served for over 35 years (since 1979). A Grand Opening Celebration is planned for late 2015.
These two new environmentally friendly Stater Bros. Supermarkets will feature an expanded selection of products and services including Full Service Meat and Seafood Departments with knowledgeable and trained professionals to serve you; Fresh Produce Departments with an assortment of fruits and vegetables for a healthy lifestyle; Full Service Bakeries with freshly baked breads, specialty cakes and fine desserts; Full Service Delicatessens with fresh salads and meals-to-go, and Full Service Floral Departments for that perfect gift.
