Sender’s Market Weekly Ad & Grocery Specials Through September 19th! Shop Local & Save!!

Posted by: thepinetree on 09/21/2023 09:01 AM
Mountain Ranch, CA…In 1950, we started out as a family operation with Erich’s father and mother, August and Freida Sender, in a century-old adobe building. The upstairs was home to the Sender family, and the first floor included groceries, a meat market, a bar, and a small eating place called Opa’s Smokehouse. On Christmas morning in 1968, the old store was destroyed by fire. But in June 1969, Sender’s Market, Inc. was opened. Since that time, there have been many changes, including remodeling, expansion, and the addition of many employees. That’s also when we added the truss plant and purchased Sender’s Market Ace Hardware in Valley Springs. Today, we’re still family owned and still working hard to stock everything from pantry essentials to power tools. Whether you’ve got questions about the perfect cut of meat or the right kind of paint, our helpful, knowledgeable staff has you covered. Click on images below for larger versions.

President Biden, President Lula of Brazil, and Director-General Houngbo of the ILO Launching the Partnership for Workers’ Rights

Posted by: thepinetree on 09/20/2023 11:36 PM
New York, NY...Thank you. Please, have a seat. Thank you very much. Thank you all for being here. (Members of the press can be heard speaking in the background.) When the press stops doing verbal interviews, we’ll get going. Growing up in my household, my dad used to have an expression, for real. He’d say, “A job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It’s about your dignity. It’s about respect. It’s about being able to look your child in the eye and say, ‘Honey, it’s going to be okay,’ and mean it.”
