Stater Bros. Markets said plans are in place to build a new store at the southeast corner of Arlington Avenue and Van Buren Boulevard in Riverside, California. The new store, which will replace an existing location at Arlington Avenue and Tyler Street, will occupy 49,922 square feet of a former 96,864-square-foot Kmart building.
Construction will commence in winter with the store opening in summer 2022. The project will bring 150 construction jobs and 100 new store-level jobs to the area.
The upcoming supermarket will feature an array of offerings, including full-service meat, seafood, service deli and bakery departments, a vast selection of fresh and healthy offerings, spacious aisles and a décor scheme reflective of the local community. In addition, the store will implement eco-friendly practices such as the use of energy-efficient equipment and energy-saving LED lighting.
“Stater Bros. has been an integral part of the Riverside community since 1948 and we are excited to open this store which will offer significantly expanded offerings for our customers,” said Stater Bros. CEO Pete Van Helden. “This new location will take our legendary excellence in food and service up to an even higher level to meet and exceed the expectations of today’s consumers.”
Stater Bros. was founded in 1936 in Yucaipa, California, and has grown steadily through the years to become the largest privately-owned Supermarket Chain in Southern California and the largest private employer in both San Bernardino County and Riverside County. The company currently operates 170 Supermarkets, and there are approximately 18,000 members of the Stater Bros. Supermarket Family. Since 2008, Stater Bros. and Stater Bros. Charities have contributed more than $80 million in food and funds to local Southern California communities. For more information, visit staterbros.com.
