99 Ranch Market will open its second Oregon supermarket near Mall 205 at 10546 SE Washington Street. The Pan-Asian grocery store has nearly 60 stores concentrated in California, with other locations spread across the country. The company is renowned for providing a wide range of imported products alongside local meats and vegetables. As with most stores in this chain, the new Montavilla adjacent location will offer prepared foods and baked goods made in an onsite kitchen.
Evidence of 99 Ranch Market’s impending Portland location surfaced in February through real estate flyers for space near this new supermarket. The listing agent for the property and store representatives would not confirm plans to open a store at this location until earlier this month when the company posted a coming soon banner above the future storefront. Although the new store will occupy a substantial portion of the building, it will cover less storefront space than the width of the shop. That leaves room for other smaller tenants near this grocery store’s entrance and will likely require an address change after crews erect new demising walls.
99 Ranch Market started in 1984 but only recently moved into Oregon. On August 23rd, 2017, they opened a Beaverton store at 8155 SW Hall Boulevard. That location proved popular, continually attracting Westside customers. Expanding across the Willamette River allows the company to tap into another cluster of shoppers. However, they face competition from similar stores with an established foothold in Portland. Montavilla has Hong Phat Food Center at the intersection of 82nd Avenue and E Burnside Street. Further south on SE 82nd Avenue, people can shop at Fubonn Shopping Center or Shun Fat Supermarket.
With many similar options within three miles of this new Asian grocery store, 99 Ranch Market must differentiate itself through selection, quality, and pricing. The Beaverton location offers a wide variety of food and kitchen items, some not available from the established stores in the area, but there are overlapping in-store offerings. The success of this new grocery store will take years to determine, but local residents have already expressed excitement for this Portland expansion. City permit examiners are still reviewing the applications, pointing to an opening sometime in 2024. Expect to see more details about this location towards the end of the year.
