SAN BERNARDINO, CA - Stater Bros. Markets is pleased to announce the grand reopening of its extensively remodeled supermarket at 71727 29 Palms Hwy., Twentynine Palms, CA 92277.

As customers approach the store, they will immediately be greeted by a new, large American flag installed on a 66-foot flagpole. Stater Bros.

The store exterior has been redone with a modern façade, and extensive renovations were made to the interior as well to match the level of the chain’s newer stores. When shoppers first walk in, they will immediately notice the new décor, flooring, and checkstands.

Making their way through the rest of the store, shoppers will now find highly popular and convenient food solutions such as fresh sushi created in-store by professionally trained sushi chefs, and fresh-cut fruit straight from a fruit-cutting station. Customers who are pressed for time can quickly stop in for some of our expanded ready-to-eat meal solutions, including burritos, sandwiches, salads, and our famous double-breaded Cleo & Leo fried chicken. Shoppers who are in search of an elevated meat-eating experience can now purchase Certified Angus Beef® brand steaks.
