99 Ranch Market (also called Tawa Supermarket in its Chinese name, sometimes called Ranch 99 due to confusion based on its logo) is one of the largest Asian American supermarket chains in the United States. It operates mainly on the West Coast, especially in California. It also has stores in Arizona, Georgia, Hawaii, Nevada, and Washington. It also has a joint venture with the Chinese Canadian T & T Supermarket (大統華) chain, which operates mainly in the Vancouver area and also Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto.
It is one of the ver few Asian supermarkets operating in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California, but the Van Nuys location remains popular among black, Mexican, and white customers, as well as Chinese-speaking customers.
