Stater Bros. to open new store in Ontario, California

Stater Bros. Markets is opening a 47,491-square-foot store in Ontario, California, on Wednesday, the company announced Thursday.  

The new store, located at 930 N. Haven Ave., will feature full-service meat, seafood, service deli and bakery departments and will offer fresh sushi prepared by trained sushi chefs.  

The store will also feature prepared foods such as pollo asado, a burrito bar, sandwich wraps, Korean fried chicken wings and a variety of heat-and-eat dishes, the company said. The grocer also noted that the new store will sell an assortment of pastries, fruit-filled conchas, chocolate-strawberry croissants, tres leche coconut parfait and guava and cheese strudels. 

“Stater Bros. is very proud to bring this new and modern market to serve the bustling community of Ontario,” said Stater Bros. CEO and Chairman Pete Van Helden in a statement. “With this store, I believe we’ve created a grocery shopping venue to match the fun and upbeat community of people who live and work in the surrounding area.” 

The store will serve as the anchor tenant for The Collection neighborhood center, which is being developed by Lewis Retail Centers, the company said.  

The grand opening will kick off with an 8 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony where the Chaffey High School Jazz Band will perform.  

The grocer added that the company, through its Stater Bros. Charities nonprofit, will donate $30,000 to six local nonprofit organizations, including Unidos Por La Musica, Chaffey Band Boosters, Ontario Police Department Explorers, Hope Through Housing Foundation, West End YMCA and Frontsight Military Outreach.
