99 Ranch Marketplace vendors cling to hope as closure looms

As some vendors are looking to shut down in the wake of Ranch 99's closing next month, others are clinging to hope. They're trying to find a new place to do business, while remembering what the marketplace has meant to them.

Affordable, cultural, and popular. This is a huge shame! Who allowed this?

[@rhanc2757]

Greedy corporate MFS.

They probably do this cuz of Covid 😗

Small businesses are getting screwed by Big cooperation

[@VanGoWanderlust]

Wow, I've never seen anything like this! I wish we had something similar where I lived, so sad to hear it's closing!

[@camt4133]

Why don't these giant corporations pick on someone of their own size. Let these small businesses thrive and continue its cultural traditions. So sad the American dreams promised no longer within reach for the average citizen.

[@KaizenEnergyUS]

This is Caldwell's work, just like Kirk ruined Waikiki international village.

[@SwtIslandGurl808]

This is sad news :( all of these BIG companies come in and shut down small business that's been there for so many years without a thought about their livelihood. Is there no other option for them? Maybe.....What IF HOME DEPOT agrees to let them open up a food truck business in the parking lot area? 🤔 less than 30 days to vacate isn't enough time 😞 HAVE A HEART HD! 🤦‍♀️

[@cindyluuu1605]

Yes yes yes I agree with you

[@dandelionsarefree7436]

Move the food court to home depo

[@carlosm.3426]

99 Ranch Marketplace isnt a small business, they are a well known Asian grocery store with more than 50 locations across the country and they are only growing.

[@KaizenEnergyUS]

How completely stupid of our politicians and council members to let this and mapunapuna close.

[@melbournechugging2999]

With the amount of people shopping at home Depot they should have a food court if they were smart

[@billyb9067]

Next to the nursery with a big inventory of trees and gardening stuff!!

[@dandelionsarefree7436]

Great 😊 idea! Relocate the food courts to Home Depot. All the construction guys would go there for lunch and the vendors keep their businesses!

[@strikeout77777]

I don't know if its true, but someone said, this isn't gonna be a regular home depot where anyone can come in, its for contractors only or something...

[@thegirltype]

I literally just saw this ranch 99 highlighted on someone's tik Tok and thought to myself, I will go visit when I go back to the islands and now this news! Hat shame!

[@Critique808]

The Pearl City location has a food truck. Why not have food trucks or a food court at Mapunapuna?

[@johnschlaff5732]

We get enough home depots on this island!!! Enough already! I'm going to stick with city mill

[@kalkeikuu]

Our government is for the Rich corporations

[@anthonytran7566]

99 Ranch Marketplace, not Ranch 99 Marketplace.

[@davidcarruthers5850]

Total BS !!! This is nothing some politicians siding up with some corporate a-holes and $$$$$$$

[@tkyap2524]

Those who know Hawaii know this watering hole (for social gatherings and food). The Authorities can earmark the place as such.

[@I-Told-U-So]

What state and city is this 99 ranch locate? Anyone can name it?

[@aumarigan]

Too bad. The more open dining space is way better than most enclosed restaurants.

[@TamagoHead]

The location sucks. Good luck if you have Kaiser & need to use the Mapunapuna clinic once demo/construction starts. As it is, the roads are too small to handle freight & commercial-sized vehicles. If Home Depot was smart, they’d sell Diesel/gas and bentos, but it’s a land grab.

[@soursopmcgee8682]

We need more 99 Ranch in California

[@valerieneal2747]

I AGREE. I LOVE 99 RANCH STORES.

[@kimiko412]

@@valerieneal2747 their prices are getting more expensive even before Covid. i like them but can't stand most of their prices!

[@deathbycake7637]

Reminds me of all the places that closed down on Keeaumoku st. Like 88 market.. I've been to 99 Ranch once and sad to see it go.

[@knuclear200x]

Is the whole company closing, or just that location? I'm sad either way because I don't really live near one, and they're all good

[@wailee6621]

This is 99 Ranch market place not 99 Ranch Super Market

[@charleschudabala]

The reporting was not very good. I had the same question

[@holmiumh]

@@charleschudabala It's probably clear enough for the locals. That's a constant problems with KZbin showing local news to broad audience who don't have proper context.

[@roorlek]

Why are all these supporters only showing up now??

[@Steven-xf8mz]

I honestly don't get why Home Depot is such a big thing everywhere. As a homeowner, I probably visited less than 10 times in last decade or so. There is no need for people constantly fixing up their home every year, it's so pointless, the money and time spent on these things won't get the investment return they think they do. Home prices are often driven by inflation and market demand related to a specific location rather than home improvement. A home just has to be comfortable, it doesn't need a new kitchen floor every 2 years, mop your floor once a month or a quarter if you're too lazy to do this every week or bi-weekly.

[@eddiegee2940]

Also , not that many people constantly buying homes.

[@Ray-iz7tv]

Totally agree, don't like to take on unneeded projects and spend more money.

[@theleapforward1032]

People need landscaping and industrial supplies

[@3bomen]

You would be surprise

[@Aluvsm]

A lot of people own landscaping businesses. Hard working people doing some hard work...concrete. Stuff like that every single day.

[@popeyesailorman911]

Very Sad..........They should give these Vendors some $$$$ for Moving Expenses or at least give 'em 2 months Lease $$ back so they can put on Deposit for a new Location...... Pretty Heartbreaking that these Mom/Pop vendors spent 20+ years doing businesses and that's the only thing they know and now sending 'em out to the unknown uncertainty..... ✌✌

[@SwtIslandGurl808]

Exactly 💯

[@brucewayne2773]

This is Ranch Market, not Ranch 99 Market. There are no relations between the 2 franchises

[@anonymousmc7727]

We have enough Home Depot’s!!!

[@bfdee1603]

Incomplete reporting… u should have started with where d location is… what city? Jeez!

[@Critique808]

It says Mapunapuna.

[@ItchyPilauBoto]

Are you kidding just look up 99 ranch marketplace.. It also says Mapunapuna, incomplete brain

[@w2385-i2s]

Boycott Home Depot.

[@alien13579]

what big corporations failed to understand until today is we don't need another home depot, there are plenty of them around but these small businesses are one of a kind...there are no branches at all

[@kevinp8108]

I heard that 99 Ranch Market could relocate to Pu'u Nani.

[@thomasliangus]

Which location is this one?

[@MrHAPPYHAWAIIAN]

Hope………….the last stop before despair and giving up. 🤡
