Continuing a flurry of store remodels, Stater Bros. tomorrow plans to hold grand reopenings at four locations.
The Southern California supermarket chain said it will reopen renovated stores in Santa Ana, Calimesa ,West Covina and Rancho Cucamonga on Sept. 5.
Along with an enhanced layout, the remodeled stores feature interior upgrades such as new flooring and energy-efficient LED lighting. Customers also will see a wider selection of premium wines and an expanded section for freshly prepared, grab-and-go food items.
The remodel of the West Covina store also will bring FujiSan Handcrafted Sushi, made in-house daily at a dedicated sushi island; a display case with an assortment of fresh fruit cut in-store each day; and a bulk food station offering a selection of nuts, dried fruit and snacks sold by weight, according to Stater Bros.

“Providing a pleasant shopping experience, taking good care of our customers and supporting the communities we serve remains at the core of our business,” Chief Executive Officer Pete Van Helden said in a statement.
The retailer’s latest reopenings follow the premiere of five other remodeled stores on July 18 in Moreno Valley, the Woodcrest area of Riverside, Yorba Linda, Upland and Jurupa Valley.
Among those stores, Stater Bros. noted that the Woodcrest and Jurupa Valley locations now feature a more open store layout with a widened perimeter, while the Moreno Valley store added the sushi island, bulk food station and fresh-cut fruit display.
In March, Stater Bros. reopened another remodeled store in Rancho Cucamonga. And this fall, the grocer plans to open its first store — on a former Vons location — in Pasadena, which also will be the retailer’s westernmost store in the San Gabriel Valley.
Overall, Stater Bros. operates 171 supermarkets in the Southern California market.
