Sender’s Market Weekly Ad & Grocery Specials Through April 23rd! Shop Local & Save!!
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/17/2024 02:06 PM
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
A Bit of Wisdom from the 1736 Poor Richard's Almanac
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/17/2024 12:02 PM
Philadelphia, PA...Our Favorite Founding Father is Ben Franklin. He didn't just help found our country during the 1776 era. For two generations before he helped sell concepts of Freedom, Self-Determination & Inalienable rights. From 1733 to 1758 Poor Richards Almanac helped create the unique American identity in a homey, common sense, aspirational way. A few Bits of Wisdom from 1735...
If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the Philosophers-Stone.
He that would live in peace & at ease, Must not speak all he knows, nor judge all he sees.
Fish & Visitors stink in 3 days.
He that can have Patience, can have what he will.
God helps them that help themselves.
Keep flax from fire, and youth from gaming.
Diligence is the mother of Good-Luck.
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
He that lives upon Hope, dies fasting.
