Do You Remember Stater Bros? A Store History.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 бер 2023
- Stater Bros. Markets is a privately held supermarket chain, based in San Bernardino, California, consisting of 171 stores located throughout Southern California. It was founded in Yucaipa, California, on August 17, 1936, by twin brothers Cleo and Leo Stater when they purchased the market owned by Cleo's boss, W. A. Davis, with a $600 down payment ($11,717 in 2021 dollars [3]).[4] Cleo recalled to the Inland Empire Business Press in 1998, that the owner of the market across the street from Davis's gave him the other $300 to make the full down payment. Stater Bros. went public in 1964; Cleo, Leo, and their brother Lavoy sold their interests to the now-defunct Long Beach-based Petrolane Gas Service in 1968.[5] The chain has been owned fully by Stater Bros. Holdings, a subsidiary of La Cadena Investments, owned by Stater's late chairman, president and CEO, Jack H. Brown, since 1986

I moved to Redlands in 1992 as I got my first teaching job in Rialto. Stater Bros was the only stores nearby in the town. They were expensive but they had great meats.
probably why they were expensive
The Stater Bros here has outlasted 2 Albertsons and a Ralphs nearby and is still our go to place for Christmas and Thanksgiving meats.
I’ve heard of Stater Brothers before but never lived near any.Thank you Eric for this upload!.😎
I worked for staters when jack brown died… his mom shopped at our store weekly. You can tell there was going to be a big change after he passed
With all of the snow and closed roads in the Sierras this year, the Statler Bros trucks were the ones you saw stuck in the snow or on the closed roads on the news. Never heard of them before that
I still go sometimes. Oceanside, CA. & Poway, CA. They have the BEST fresh seasoned chix wings to bake at the butcher area. Highly recommend.
Thank you ALWAYS Eric👏🙌
thanks for sharing that
Staters was my first job while in high school, I loved it. Eventually got plucked out of there to do sales for a bigger company. Always thankful for where I started
thanks for sharing your memories
Awesome video. I think they still have the best selection on meats. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching....Ralphs has some good meat too.
@@EricCProductions76 yeah Ralph's is my second stop.
Ever wonder why the truck were kept Eggnogg color ? So they could be seen miles away and you'd know living in Southern Cali...IE... that's our hometown Stater Bros Martket drivers. There's stories that Jack Brown was always in sight among the frontline workers and treated all like family. Once Jack pulled over in his Cadillac on the freeway for a driver needing a tow..Jack made sure the driver was ok and went back with a lunch meal for him. True genuine humble man and truly missed.
thanks for sharing that nice story
Stater bros is good store. Interesting history. The staff are always friendly. There was three Starters Bros in town I grew up in.
I remember when they built the one over off of Rimpau and Manolia. We used to go in while it was under construction and snoop around.
been to that one
Their golden fried chicken is legendary.🤤
I went to classes in Jack Brown Hall at CSUSB when I was there. It was primarily made for business classes - makes sense!
LaCadena Investment Inc... because the old location was on LaCadena . Jack Brown was a smart man and treated everyone like they were family.
There is one here in Long Beach where I live now.
I like a store/supermarket where you don't need a club card. Funny you go to Vons you need a club card, but if you go to Albertsons which owns Vons don't need a club card to get club card prices. I'm sick of Club Cards
I agree my friend
I always remember the meat department and the sound of the bandsaws being used both had different tones
You should do a video on Rainbow Foods Grocery Stores
They were an old grocery chain from minnesota
Thank you for your suggestion. I will put it on my list.
My 2nd job ever was stater brothers. I quit by no showing after one shift where I crapped my pants while doing the hourly sweep. Never told anyone that story lol.
thanks for sharing that story and I promise not to tell anyone.
I remember my mom and I would shop at stater bros almost everyday back in the 90's and 2000's cause everything was cheaper than then lucky's or Albertsons I'm originally from Costa Mesa CA I would go to The one on Newport Blvd and the one on river st in Norco CA and the one in Moreno valley CA on sunnymead Blvd and now I go to food 4 less because everything is cheaper there I go to stater bros once awhile cause they have some things that the other stores don't have I always buy there meats there 😀😀😀😀
You might want to try Winco. They are pretty competitive with everyone including Walmart.
🎵 In the Heartlaaaaaaand, Stater Brooootherrrrrrrrrrrrssss 🎵
funny. I remember that!
@EricCProductions76 as a kid when I was watching The Price is Right, the commercial would always come on. I remember it so well
@@vrdragon12 Its an earworm. I still have that tune in my head.
Does your son's collect any video games 🤔📲
They don't but I do. I have a lot of video games.
Having grown up in what was then, an extremely rural region within West Riverside of the I.E. of SoCal during the late 70’s thru 80’s, Stater Bros was my fam’s only alternative grocery selection to an Alpha Beta that used to exist in Rubidoux, Ca… until that crazy day/evening when, for what seemed like to me as a kid then, ‘all’ of the Rubidoux community went out too that Alpha Beta’s parking lot to be spectator’s of “our” Alpha Beta burning to the ground, in the biggest & craziest fire we’d all ever seen.. that was pretty insane. Anyways, after that, only the downtown Rubidoux, DeAnza &, Mira Loma Stater Bros grocery stores remained.. a slightly further away old-school itty-bitty Vons existed then as well but… that was 💩, by comparison. Wasn’t until sometime @ the later 90’s that grocery chains like Lucky’s, Ralph’s, Albertsons &, Pavilion’s popped up in-around my neck of woods in the I.E.. This all said tho, with that recent ridiculous grocery chain merger/buyout BS that happened, of an ever-closer MONOPOLY, Stater Bro’s & Costco (used to be just “Price Club” in SB), grocery store ‘competition’ have become alarmingly the only other competitor’s left, besides a very few & far between struggling smaller “healthy” chains
thanks for sharing that info, I know the area well. Still go to that Rubidoux Swapmeet.
Hopefully with the recent approved merge between Kroger buying Albertson's/ Vons Stater Bros will expand another 20 plus stores in the next 5 years
