Stater Bros store #208 on Haven Avenue is truly a standout location, and without a doubt, the best Stater Bros I’ve ever been to. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the difference. The store is immaculately clean, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the shelves are always fully stocked and organized. It’s clear that this team takes a great deal of pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail of the shopping experience. Compared to other Stater Bros locations, store 208 always seems to offer more—more product variety, more attentive service, and more care for the customers who walk through the doors.
One of the first things you’ll notice is how friendly and helpful the staff are. Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time visiting, you’ll be greeted with kindness and professionalism. Employees are quick to offer assistance, even if you’re just standing around looking at products or trying to find your next item. They don’t wait to be asked—they’re proactive and always ready to help. That kind of service makes all the difference, especially when you’re shopping with family or just having a long day.
The meat department at this location deserves special recognition. The selection is always fresh, well-presented, and stocked with a variety of options you don’t always see elsewhere. But what really sets the meat department apart is the team behind the counter. They’re attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely eager to help. On more than one occasion, I’ve been approached while browsing the meat section, just to make sure I’m finding what I need or to offer help with custom cuts or recommendations. That kind of personal attention is rare and greatly appreciated.
A huge shoutout has to go to Larry, the assistant manager at store 208. Larry is a true professional—he’s visible on the floor, interacting with customers, guiding the team, and making sure everything runs smoothly. He’s the kind of manager who leads by example, and it’s easy to see that the positive energy of the store starts with leadership like his. Larry is approachable, down-to-earth, and always ready to jump in where needed, and that sets the tone for the whole store.
Lexxie is another shining example of what makes store 208 so special. She’s kind, patient, and incredibly helpful, especially with families. I’ve personally experienced her going out of her way to assist my family with a smile on her face the whole time. She has a calm, professional demeanor that makes every interaction pleasant, no matter how busy the store is. Her positive attitude doesn’t go unnoticed, and it’s people like her who make this store feel like more than just a place to shop—it feels like a community.
Even outside the store, the excellent customer service continues. Jordan, a team member working in the parking lot, was incredibly helpful, assisting with carts and making sure the area was clean and safe for customers coming and going. His initiative and good attitude reflect the high standards that store 208 upholds across the board.
This store is truly a 10 out of 10. Between the exceptional cleanliness, the wide variety of products, the high level of customer service, and the amazing staff—from Larry’s strong leadership to Lexxie’s kindness and Jordan’s helpfulness—store 208 sets the bar for what a grocery shopping experience should be. I will continue to go out of my way just to shop at this location. It’s not just a store—it’s a top-tier experience every...
Read moreToday, I had an unacceptable experience at your store while trying to check out with my California mobile driver’s license to purchase alcohol. The cashier, an elderly Asian woman (name probably something like Flamina, but I could be wrong) hid her name badge on her shirt, making it difficult to identify her, who I regularly see, refused to process the transaction, even though I’ve used the same form of ID multiple times in the past with no issue. This resulted in an unnecessary 20-minute delay, during which time my perishable items were at risk of spoiling.
This cashier clearly lacks the basic knowledge required to perform her job. She ignored store policy, failed to keep up with necessary updates, and wasted my time. What’s worse, she showed zero professionalism—there was no apology for the inconvenience, and instead of resolving the situation quickly, she re-scanned all the items again to revenge my escalation to her management, further delaying my purchase. This behavior is entirely unacceptable from an employee in a customer-facing role.
This isn’t the first time I’ve encountered unprofessional behavior from this individual. It’s clear that she is not suited for a role that involves interacting with paying customers, and at this point, her continued presence is driving away loyal customers like myself. I strongly suggest that management take...
Read moreI live right around the corner and very impressed with how well and nice this location was built. It compliments the aesthetics of the area. It was much needed on this side of town as Ralph’s on Foothill and Haven was the closet true grocery store. This Stater Bros has an extensive produce area, a full bakery, hot foods and deli section. It’s almost giving me a Whole Foods vibe and to top it off it also has a nice full spirits section. I never really was a stater bros shopper or fan due to other locations looking dingy, very small and cramped and not having much variety however I am Looking forward to using this store as my new grocery store. I love how it’s placed within a residential zone making it easy for walking. I’m also huge on parking lot ease and accessibility. The parking lot is not cramped(understanding all the other coming soon locations have yet to open) however very glad they thought to have an entrance and exit on both 4th street and on concourse; makes for a easy flow of traffic in and out. This is probably one of the largest Stater Bros I have visited and I throughly enjoyed visiting on...
