About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk one autumn evening, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock of 99 Ranch Market. Suddenly, amidst the usual hum of refrigerators and buzzing lights, he heard it—a faint, rhythmic tapping sound. Curious, he followed its eerie echoes through the aisles until they led him to an empty shelf, where an ancient wooden box seemed to be gently tapping its lid. As he approached closer, the tapping stopped abruptly. Startled, he peered inside the box—and found nothing but old cans of pineapple chunks. Turns out, it was just an errant can rolling around in there. With a laugh, he went back outside only to discover that his truck’s headlights had been playing tricks on him all along.
2. At closing time one Friday night, an employee locked up the market and headed home. But as he walked past the empty aisles, he heard a faint voice calling out: ‘Excuse me, do you have any fresh bok choy?’ Curious, he turned around but saw no one. Just then, another soft whisper reached his ear: 'Could you please point me to the kimchi?' With a smile, he shrugged it off, thinking maybe it was just a regular playing a prank. Until the next week, when he found himself answering the same question again—this time from an empty carton of eggs.
3. At closing time one Friday night, an employee locked up the market and headed for home. ‘I’ll be back tomorrow,’ he muttered, not realizing that someone had already taken his spot in line at the grocery store checkout.’ As he walked away, a delivery driver pulled into the parking lot, muttering about how long the queue was getting. Just then, the doors opened again—this time, for a neighbor who needed something urgently. The employee turned around just as the last customer left, realizing with a smile that maybe he wasn’t quite done yet.
4. At dawn one foggy morning, a security guard patrolling the parking lot heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he approached cautiously and found an old fan whirring in the produce section. Turns out, it was just an overzealous aunty cleaning staff trying to keep mangoes fresh. Everyone had a good laugh, and now, whenever someone mentions ghosts, locals joke that maybe they were just hungry for some fresh pineapples.
