About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why do you always scan my groceries so fast?’ The cashier smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Because we’re afraid someone might steal them!’ A few days later, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘How come I never see anyone stealing stuff here?’ With a twinkle in her eye, the cashier whispered, ‘That’s because they’ve already paid for everything when they walked through the door!’
2. A few weeks ago, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock and noticed something unusual: every time he parked there, his car would mysteriously shift two spaces forward after just a minute or so. Finally, one day, an old neighbor walked by and asked what was going on. Turns out, the loading dock had a small slope that made cars creep forward ever so slightly. After a good laugh, everyone learned to park with the handbrake on—and the mystery of the moving cars became just another funny story about life at 99 Ranch Market.
3. In the produce aisle one morning, a little girl pointed excitedly at the giant watermelons. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘are those watermelons talking?’ Her mother smiled and gently shook her head. Just then, an elderly gentleman passing by overheard and chuckled, ‘No, honey, they’re just big watermelons having a quiet conversation.’ The little girl nodded wisely, satisfied with the explanation, while everyone in the aisle discreetly tried not to laugh out loud.
4. One morning, as customers were browsing through the fresh produce section, an unexpected announcement crackled over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention shoppers! The bananas are on strike!’ Customers looked around in confusion until a regular pointed up towards the ceiling. A sign above the banana display read: 'Labor Day Sale: Buy One Get One Free!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another clever marketing gimmick. The bananas never actually went on strike—just their prices did.
