Rancho Market

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the cashier: ‘Do you ever notice how everything in your store seems to move just a little bit faster than usual after dark?’ The cashier smiled and shrugged, ‘Maybe it’s because our shelves are stocked with so much energy!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in, muttering, ‘I swear I saw an avocado jump over a banana.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe some things were better left unexplained.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Rancho Market and noticed something peculiar—an eerie humming sound seemed to follow him inside as he unloaded crates of bananas. As he unpacked, he kept hearing that strange hum growing louder. Suddenly, one banana started dancing on the counter! Alarmed but amused, the driver asked his neighbor later that day, ‘Did you hear my bananas were doing the macarena today?’ His neighbor just smiled and said, ‘Only when they’re from Rancho Market.’

3. One afternoon, a neighbor stopped by the market and asked curiously, ‘Why does every bag of chips here taste exactly like the last one?’ The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Because I only buy from one supplier who knows my secret recipe!' The neighbor shrugged it off with a laugh, thinking nothing more of it—until he tried his own bag of chips that evening.

4. One night, after closing, an employee heard a strange noise coming from the backroom. Curious, they peeked inside—and found a shopping cart slowly rolling towards the exit. Curious, they followed it outside, only to see the cart gently pushing open the front door for a little old lady who lived nearby and was known for her late-night grocery runs. The next day, everyone in town laughed when they saw the surveillance footage of her waving cheerfully as she walked out with a bag of chips and a bottle of water—while the cart obediently rolled along behind her.
