This once-a-year event honors Stater Bros. employees who have reached a milestone in their careers with the Supermarket Chain of either 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, or 20 years of continuous service.  This year, 457 Stater Bros. employees were honored, and 5,837 employees have been honored since the first event in 1987.

"As a 30-Year Service Award Recipient myself this year, I am especially proud that so many employees have chosen to make Stater Bros. their career," stated Jack H. Brown, Chairman and CEO of Stater Bros. Markets.  "Because of the hard work and dedication of the Stater Bros. Supermarket Family, we are able to honor our long-term employees and continue to have more employees working for the company each year.  It has been said that you judge a person by the Company they keep ... and a Company by the people they keep.  Stater Bros. is very proud of our heritage of service."

This year's "Family Service Awards" Banquet was held at the Riverside Convention Center on Saturday, April 30th.  Every employee was introduced and had their photos taken with Jack Brown, when he personally presented each of them with their "Family Service Awards" Pins.
