99 Ranch Market opens first Portland store, filling local grocery gap

99 Ranch Market opened its first Portland store on August 16, 2025, effectively filling a grocery gap as a Fred Meyer nearby prepares to close. The 35,000-square-foot store offers an extensive selection of over 12,000 Asian products, catering to diverse culinary needs. A unique live seafood section allows customers to choose seafood from tanks for immediate frying, complemented by steaming services for lobster and crab. Additionally, shoppers can explore a MINISO store within the market, featuring exclusive items linked to the anime series One Piece. To mark the grand opening, a lion dance and a bluefin tuna cutting ceremony entertained visitors, who also enjoyed exclusive giveaways and the launch of a new loyalty program.

This expansion is part of 99 Ranch Market's growth strategy, as it aims to establish a significant presence in the Pacific Northwest. The store's commitment to diverse Asian offerings strengthens local grocery options in Portland. Free parking is available for all visitors.
