The NEW "Blue Ribbon" Stater Bros. Lake Elsinore Supermarket will be replacing a smaller Stater Bros. Supermarket located at 31952 Mission Trail in Lake Elsinore.  At 43,162 sq. ft., the newly acquired Stater Bros. Lake Elsinore Supermarket will be over 76% larger than the existing Stater Bros.

Supermarket.  A Grand Opening Celebration for the new Stater Bros. Lake Elsinore Supermarket is scheduled for early Spring 2012.
