"We look forward to continuing to serve you at our Pleasanton location." That line comes from the sign 99 Ranch Market taped to its window at 4299 Rosewood Drive, as Pleasanton Weekly reported on October 31. The Rose Pavilion store is set to close for good on December 5, 2026. After that, the city has one 99 Ranch, at Pacific Pearl on Stoneridge Drive in eastern Pleasanton.
As of this week, the Rosewood store has a little over two weeks left. Once it closes, Pleasanton's 99 Ranch shopping is concentrated at one address near the Livermore border, a center that has announced new restaurants and tea shops this year.
Sixteen Years at Rosewood and Santa Rita
The Rosewood Drive store opened in April 2010, in the large space Levitz Furniture used to occupy. It was one of the first Asian supermarket chains to set up in the Tri-Valley. For eight years it was the only one in town. The second Pleasanton 99 Ranch opened in 2018, when the chain was one of the first tenants at Pacific Pearl, which the Weekly describes as an Asian-focused shopping center near the Livermore border.
That means Pleasanton has had two 99 Ranch stores for the past eight years, one on the Santa Rita Road side of town and one on the east end of Stoneridge Drive. The company told the Weekly the closure "will optimize our store network and allocate resources more effectively to better serve our customers." According to a state WARN filing cited in the same report, parent company Tawa Supermarket, Inc. notified 54 employees at the Rose Pavilion store of layoffs effective December 5.
The Santa Rita corridor has lost a grocery store before. The Weekly noted that the former Walmart Neighborhood Market farther down Santa Rita Road has stood empty since it left last year, and nobody has said what will go into the Rosewood space.
Where the Weekly Grocery Run Goes After December 5
The Weekly's report says two 99 Ranch stores stay open in the Tri-Valley after the closure: one in Pleasanton and one in downtown Dublin. H Mart, which opened this spring on Dublin Boulevard, is a fourth option nearby.
| Store | Address | Status after Dec. 5 |
|---|---|---|
| 99 Ranch Market, Rose Pavilion | 4299 Rosewood Drive, Pleasanton | Closed |
| 99 Ranch Market, Pacific Pearl | 2701 Stoneridge Drive, Pleasanton | Open, now Pleasanton's only 99 Ranch |
| 99 Ranch Market, Dublin | Regional Street, downtown Dublin | Open |
| H Mart, Dublin Retail Center | 7884 Dublin Blvd., Dublin | Open since March 26, 2026 |
The 99 Ranch store page for 2701 Stoneridge Drive is where its weekly specials are posted, so the store a Rosewood shopper used to check becomes the one on Stoneridge.
The Dublin choices are close together. H Mart, the Korean grocery chain's first Tri-Valley supermarket, opened in Dublin Retail Center on Thursday, March 26, a few blocks from the Regional Street 99 Ranch. Pleasanton Weekly's opening-day report listed its food court: Oh K-Dog & Egg Toast, Kyodong Noodles, Chodang, BBQ Chicken, Daeho and Tous Les Jours. For people on the north side of Pleasanton, a Dublin Boulevard trip can now cover groceries and lunch.
Stoneridge Drive Was Already Filling In
People shopping at the Pacific Pearl 99 Ranch will be walking into a center that hasn't stopped adding tenants. The Pacific Pearl store directory lists 85° Bakery Café next to the market, along with a long run of restaurants and dessert counters:
- Sit-down and hot pot: Chubby Cattle, Mumu Hot Pot, Kura Revolving Sushi Bar, Fiery Shanghai, MalaTown
- Noodles and quick meals: The Special Noodle House, Myeongdong Ja Jang, Yin Ji Chang Fen, Bonchon Chicken, A2B Indian Vegetarian Restaurant, CloudDISH
- Tea and sweets: Happy Lemon, Matsu Matcha, SomiSomi, Top Pot, Chicha San Chen
Chicha San Chen, a Taiwanese tea brand, is one of the newest names there. Berkeleyside reported on August 31 that it was in its soft-opening phase at Pacific Pearl, and the chain's Northern California site now lists the shop's hours and online ordering.
Patch reported in August that Chicha San Chen was one of four new tenants the center announced together. The other three:
- HiroNori Craft Ramen, a ramen restaurant Patch described as recognized in the Michelin Guide for its broths, noodles and rice bowls, in a 1,404-square-foot space at 2709 Stoneridge Drive.
- Eight Turn Crepe, a New York City brand that makes Japanese crepes with gluten-free rice flour, rolled into handheld cones, in a 1,647-square-foot space at 2693 Stoneridge Drive.
- Yogurtland, the self-serve frozen yogurt chain, in a 1,220-square-foot space at 2709 Stoneridge Drive.
The City of Pleasanton listed HiroNori, Eight Turn Crepe and Yogurtland together in the "Coming Soon" section of its October 2026 business update. These are small spaces, mostly 1,000 to 1,700 square feet, set up for a ramen bowl or a dessert after shopping. They fit a center that has always paired its supermarket with places to eat.
Put the two changes side by side. The Rosewood store is closing after 16 years, while the Stoneridge Drive center has signed noodle, tea and dessert tenants this year. The one grocery store left in Pleasanton sits in the busiest food cluster on that side of town.
The Mall Is Adding Japanese Counters Too
Pacific Pearl isn't the only place in Pleasanton adding small Japanese food spots. In April, Pleasanton Weekly reported that Stoneridge Shopping Center had signed Maruwu Seicha, a Japanese tea shop planned for the mall's first level, and ONIGILLY Japanese Kitchen, a Bay Area chain known for Japanese street food. The city's October update put both in its Coming Soon list with Master Shin, all at the mall.
None of the mall spots sells groceries. Still, they add to the picture: across Pleasanton, new casual Asian food is going into the big shopping centers, Pacific Pearl and Stoneridge, while the Santa Rita corridor is losing its supermarket.
What Rose Pavilion Keeps
Rose Pavilion stays a full errand stop after December 5, with fewer grocery options. As of November 6, the site plan from the center's owner, Brixmor, still lists 99 Ranch with the rest of the tenants. It shows the center keeps plenty:
- Grocery and pharmacy: Trader Joe's and CVS
- Larger retailers: Macy's Home & Furniture, Restoration Hardware, Total Wine & More, Dollar Tree, Pet Supplies Plus, AutoZone, Leslie's Pool Supplies
- Restaurants with Asian menus: Madras Idli Kadai, PHO Saigon, Niku-Ya Stone Grill & Bar, Origin Sushi, Chick & T Bento, Mochiholic, Red Hot Chili Pepper, Panda Express
- Other quick stops: Starbucks, Golden State Taqueria, The Kebab Shop, Blaze Pizza, Firehouse Subs, Super Grill and Breakfast, Baskin-Robbins
The site plan also lists services that bring people in during the week: Fitness 19, D1 Sports Training, Mach Martial Arts, Russian School of Mathematics, GOLFTEC, Sharkey's Cuts for Kids, Animal Medical Center of Pleasanton and Rosewood Cleaners. Dropping off dry cleaning, stocking up at Trader Joe's and getting pho all still fit into one stop at Rosewood and Santa Rita.
The specialty grocery list is what moves. Produce, seafood and pantry staples that used to come from the Rosewood store are now a trip to 2701 Stoneridge Drive or to Dublin. The Weekly reported that the closing sign itself points shoppers to the Pleasanton store that remains.
The Calendar Between Now and December 5
For readers on publish day, here are the dates in order:
| Date | What happens |
|---|---|
| Thursday, Nov. 19 | The Rosewood Drive 99 Ranch is still open |
| Saturday, Dec. 5 | The Rose Pavilion 99 Ranch closes permanently |
| After Dec. 5 | Pacific Pearl at 2701 Stoneridge Drive is Pleasanton's only 99 Ranch |
That leaves about two weeks of Thanksgiving and early-December shopping at Rosewood Drive. After that, holiday shopping lists will go to Stoneridge Drive or to Dublin Boulevard.
Pleasanton is a city where a single grocery closure changes how people get through the week, and those changes eventually show up in how buyers think about a neighborhood. If you'd like a clear-eyed read on how a part of town is shifting, from the shopping centers people use to the homes nearby, Joe Sabeh and our team are glad to talk it through. Work With Us.
