Stater Bros. Markets — Local services in Fountain Valley

I’ve been shopping at this store since 2016 when Dave & Mark were in charge of the store, and ever since Dave retired and Mark was relocated, this store has gone downhill. All the new managers are very rude and nothing compared to them. I was looking for an item and I asked one of the managers that was stocking one of the aisles where it was and he didn’t even look at me, had his back towards me and told me it was in the last aisle & that was it.. not even on which side or if it was in the middle or anything. I thanked him and continued on and then saw him again but making a whole lot of conversation with another customer.. definitely made me feel a bit discriminated. & When i was checking out I asked the cashier who that was and came to find out that’s actually the stores Store Manager. What a great Store manager he is.. great example for all the other employees right? I then asked where my favorite cashier, Veronica, was at & found out she was suspended. Which is extremely odd because she’s great, maybe she could teach this Store Manager something about...

I love this store. I don't shop national chains, as their prices tend to be astronomical, especially for organic foods, and the quality of most of their items is substandard. I'm kind of a Trader Joe's snob. This location of Stater Bros is one of the older ones, so it's smaller, but I like that - it's easy to do a quick shop and get great prices.

They recently upgraded this location and did a great job.

We've made friends with several of the staff, like Brandon, who is a checker and just recently started college, which makes it a fun and lovely experience going in. Also, I have been very impressed with the meat department staff, who have suggestions for cuts and cooking techniques. Overall,...

Never shopping here again! They have a huge sign on the door of their freezer section advertising frozen turkeys for $0.47 a pound with a $25 purchase. Right behind that freezer door and huge sign is a bunch of frozen turkeys. Naturally I expect the frozen turkeys that are with the advertisement are the turkeys that are sale. Silly me! The sale turkeys are clear on the other side of the store next to the cheese. Not in the freezer section with the meats behind the sign advertising sale turkeys. So intentionally deceiving that it should be criminal. Let’s wait until you’re in the checkout line with 4 people stacked up behind you to tell you and look at you like you’re the one holding things up. Yes, I paid full price for your deceptive turkey and I will not shop at your store again if this is how you do business. Buyer beware! This...
