We aways celebrate successful businesses who are savvy enough to go the distance. And the Crown Valley Market just turned 20!! Mohammad Ariarad - who lives in Ladera Ranch - opened the market when most of Ladera Ranch wasn't even here!

What we like about the market: CVM has a cool, international feel that is different from a regular bog-box grocery store. That diversity is welcome! 

Here's what Matt Surrena from Lola's had to say about it: "Great store! Great prices (tons of fresh herbs), deli it top notch, desserts/bakery is stellar... oh, and fresh baked Sangak (Persian flatbread about 2 ft long... oh so good!)... yup, we're long time fans." Matt would know!

They also operate Bahar restaurant upstairs that offers Mediterranean food made from scratch that is available for catering or delivery (Grubhub, Doordash, Postmates, Seamless and TryCaviar).

If you haven't checked them out lately, you have to! Congrats on 20 years Mohammad!
