Palm Springs Market Place — Local services in Palm Springs

Lots of stuff going on here. Stater Brothers Market is the main player, but also a mix of great stores and services. Starting at the far end of the Marketplace, do your banking at Sun Community Federal Credit Union, then walk a few doors down to Dollar Tree and have some fun shopping for unique items and great deals (now mostly $1.25, thanks to inflation, but still cheap enough). Continue down the way and you can drop off your mail or send out a package at the Postal Store - with some friendly, helpful folks behind the counter. Walk about 30 feet more to pick up your dry cleaning from Sunrise Cleaners, then hop in the car and fill your tank at Arco - often the lowest gas prices in P.S. Oh, I almost forgot - a nice variety of food offerings are available for almost any craving: Subway, Little Caesar's, Santorini Greek Cafe. Or do the dive through at McDonalds or Taco Bell for a quick fix. Finally, after picking up some new wiper blades at O'Reilly Auto Parts, top it all off by getting that car washed (and entertain the kids at the same time) in a ride through the water blast, giant brushes, soap spatter and wax spray at Quick-Quack Car Wash. Whew! Quite a whirlwind...

I moved away during the pandemic and upon recently moving back I went shopping at Staterbros and the change was remarkable. They obviously had remodeled the store, as it looked brand new. I compared it to a Jensons Market in how very well organized every isle and shelf was. Labels all uniform and stalked shelves. The meat section looked extra fresh and the fruits and vegetables looked as if they were in a super high-end grocery store. No long lines. Positively a model Stater Bros for all...

Stater is my go-to shopping market. I like the convinces offered. I can have the deli make me a fresh sandwich while I shop, then have when I get home. The produce area is second to none and pricing is reasonable. There is an actual butcher shop where you can order your favorite cut. A full pharmacy with a great selection ofshelved over the counter products. There are always enough cashiers, even when busy the wait isn't long. Employees are very friendly and helpful. The parking is close and easy in and out. There are several restaurants closely located and I often have a meal first before I grocery shop. I very highly...
