In 1982, Mike Provenzano Sr. bought his first store, in Southern California. Then, in 1992, he partnered with his son, Michael, to create a Hispanic store concept necessary to accommodate the changing demographics of the community. They began to travel the nation and beyond to bring ideas for this “outside the box” concept. The goal was to give the Hispanic customer the variety, brands, and fresh authentic foods they know and love in a warm, upscale environment. As a result, “The Ranch” was born.   

Soon, Mike’s son’s, Steve, Rick, and Jeff, joined the team handling different aspects of the growing operation. In 1997, Arvin Ranch and Delano Ranch opened their doors in Central California to a very excited community. As each store opened, the concept perfected itself, but at the same time was flexible to adapt to each diverse community.  In 2000, Bakersfield Ranch opened and it soon became one of the most successful markets in California’s vast Central Valley.  In 2002, the Provenzano family launched its first store in Phoenix, Arizona, and was welcomed by local neighborhoods. Its success led to additional stores in Phoenix in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2009. In September 2007, the company expanded to El Paso with its first store in Texas and was welcomed by thousands of customers. Then, in June 2008, Pro's Ranch Markets opened its first supermarket in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Now with twelve stores in four states, including six stores in Arizona, four stores in California, one store in Texas, one store in New Mexico, a restaurant, a gas station, an 80,000 square foot corporate office and warehouse in California and a 130,000 square foot warehouse in Phoenix, Pro’s Ranch Markets is one of the fastest growing Hispanic Supermarket Chains in the country.
