Taiwanese grocery store 168 Market opened its doors to hundreds of waiting community members on Saturday.

Shoppers arrived at 765 Sereno Drive ahead of the store’s 9 a.m. opening by more than an hour. The store’s opening was preceded by a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a traditional Chinese lion dance by LionDanceME.

People shop inside the new 168 Market during the grand opening of the store in Vallejo on Saturday. Jonson’s father, Rodger, opened the first 99 Ranch in 1984 after emigrating from Taiwan. The now-closed shop was located in a predominantly Vietnamese community in the Southern California city of Westminster. Alice, Jonson’s sister, is the chief executive for the company.

Fairfield resident CJ Polaris attended the store’s grand opening with her husband and father-in-law to buy teas for the colder weather and to purchase dim sum, small Cantonese dumplings and snack dishes typically eaten with tea. Polaris, who works in Vallejo, said the nearest Asian markets she travels to are Asian Mart in Fairfield and 3J’s Asian Market in Sassoon.
