Stater Bros. Markets is the largest supermarket chain in southern California, with over 170 stores. Its unique selling point is its ‘community first’ approach, focussing on its customers’ wellbeing and always offering fresh, healthy and affordable groceries. This approach is most likely due to the chain’s history, which dates back to the first half of the 1900s, when the Stater family moved from Missouri to California in search of a better life. The Depression had taken a toll on the family and they decided that son Cleo would give up school and start working in a grocery store. Later, in 1936, he bought the business with his twin brother Leo and the store in West Yucaipa Blvd became the first Stater Bros. Market.

The best place to shop for groceries
Today Stater Bros. is rated as the “best place to shop for groceries” among full service supermarket chains in the area. It owes this title not just to its diverse range of products but to the quality of its deli counter, with an array of hot and ready-meal options, like its delicious never-frozen fried chicken, rotisserie chicken, sandwiches and tortillas. To prepare its offering, Stater Bros. needs a professional oven that guarantees consistently high quality, irrespective of who uses it. So it decided to invest in the new Steambox Evolution, whose display is locked and contains recipes with predefined cooking programmes whose parameters cannot be altered.
