About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary Sunday morning in the San Gabriel Valley when a delivery driver noticed something strange outside 99 Ranch Market. The parking lot was unusually quiet, but for one lone shopping cart rolling aimlessly around. Curious, he followed the cart inside and found an old lady slowly pushing it down the aisles, humming softly to herself. She smiled warmly when she saw him, saying, ‘I always shop here on Sundays—just like clockwork.’ Turns out, she’d been doing her weekly grocery run for decades without anyone noticing.
2. A curious neighbor passing by noticed something peculiar on the supermarket’s parking lot one foggy afternoon. Among the usual shopping carts and baskets, there sat a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, its label reading simply ‘Free Rice.’ Curious, the neighbor approached it but dared not open. Later that evening, while unloading groceries, a delivery driver mentioned casually that he’d seen the same package earlier too. Turned out, it was just an old rice donation box from inside the store—a forgotten promotional item left outside during a sale. The next day, everyone laughed over coffee, realizing how easily they’d been fooled by free rice indeed.
3. It was a typical weekday afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock at 99 Ranch Market. Suddenly, over the intercom came a voice: ‘Attention, everyone! We’ve just received a special shipment of fortune cookies that grant wishes.’ Everyone rushed to grab a cookie, and as they opened them one by one, each wish seemed more absurd than the last—from winning the lottery to finding a parking spot in Beverly Hills instantly. Finally, an elderly lady whispered her wish: 'Could someone please return my cart?' The entire store burst into laughter, realizing it had been emptying itself for hours.
4. It was a usual Saturday night when a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock of 99 Ranch Market. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something odd: every fifth box had a small fortune cookie taped inside. Confused and curious, the delivery driver opened one of the cookies. Inside was just a simple message: ‘Wish you good luck!’ The next day, more drivers reported similar findings. Soon enough, it became a friendly competition among neighbors who shopped there—whoever found the most cookies won bragging rights for a week. By Monday morning, everyone knew about the mysterious fortune-cookie stash at 99 Ranch Market.
