Grocery Stores in Lake Arrowhead

When enjoying your cabin rental in Lake Arrowhead, you’ll want to stock up on food and munchies, right?  Well, finding a grocery store in Lake Arrowhead isn’t hard but it helps to plan in advance.  Most stores close early, so check the store hours before making the trip.  The Lake Arrowhead area has a selection of grocery stores and convenience stores that range from basic necessities to full-sized stores that rival the big chain grocery stores in any big city.   While many choose to stock up their cabin rental before they head up the mountain, there are still plenty of choices here on the mountain.  Here is a list of grocery stores in the Lake Arrowhead area:

  • Jensen’s Foods – In their 75th year of business, Jensen’s is the rock in the community as far as grocery stores.  They understand their local market, and not only have all the typical food items you would want, but also fresh baked bread, BBQ supplies, personal care items and emergency supplies.  They do a great job of providing just about everything that might not be included in your cabin rental.  Jensen’s has two locations close to Lake Arrowhead.  On the west side of the lake in Blue Jay is their full sized store, and on the east side of the lake in Cedar Glen is their smaller “Minute Shoppe” convenience store.BLUE JAY LOCATION:
