Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "99 Ranch Market" in English language version.
Although several locations have served as Las Vegas's Chinatown since 1905, it was not until 1995 when Taiwan-born James Chen opened Chinatown Plaza, anchored by 99 Ranch Market, on Spring Mountain Road. With a pan-Asian flavor, Chinatown has become permanent and flourishing.
99 Ranch Market, the largest Asian supermarket chain in the United States, is owned by parent company Tawa Supermarket Inc., which also owns 168 Market.
Mr. Chen learned that early on. His Las Vegas Chinatown Plaza opened for business in 1995... But first, he went after the one anchor tenant that he knew would make a desert Chinatown work: 99 Ranch -- America's biggest Asian supermarket chain with 26 west-coast stores and franchises in Phoenix and Atlanta. The number 99 is lucky to Chinese, and "ranch" sounded trendy to another Chen from Taiwan -- Roger Chen -- who founded the chain in 1984.
