Dear eBuy Transactors,
As many of you may already be aware, Stater Brothers grocery stores have stopped accepting UCR PO’s for business purchases; this change came without warning.
To replace Stater Brothers, an Agreement with Goodwin’s Organic Foods has been established and arrangements made with three Smart & Final stores. They are all ready to accept UCR PO’s for business purchases.
When shopping at Smart & Final, please include our account number (60124600010316041) on the DAPO. No account number is needed when shopping at Goodwin’s.
Here are the locations that are accepting PO’s:
Goodwin’s Organic Foods
191 W Big Springs Rd
Riverside, CA 92507
Smart and Final
2744 Canyon Springs Pkwy
Riverside, CA 92507
Smart and Final
5202 Arlington Ave
Riverside, CA 92504
Smart and Final
3310 Vine St
Riverside, CA 92507
I also recommend that you consider these internal sources before heading outside of UCR for your grocery and catering needs:
UCR Market at Glenmor or Scotty’s C-Stores. UCR Dining manages these markets and can do a interdepartmental recharge. They offer a variety of food and non-food grocery selections. Departments can contact Armando Melendez armando.melendez@ucr.edu or Mary Ann Molina Person maryann.person@ucr.edu for assistance.
If your departments is looking for affordable catered food products, Citrus Grove Catering is recommended. They offer some value priced items (e.g. wraps $8 pp x 10 minimum): https://auxiliarydocs.ucr.edu/dining/citrus-grove-catering-menu.pdf
The Procurement Services team is confident that these new sources will meet your departmental procurement needs. Please direct questions about this guidance to purchasing@ucr.edu
Sincerely,
Joe Andreu
Chief Procurement Officer
