Description

California Market, frequently referred to as Gaju Market, is a premier modern shopping destination at the busy intersection of 5th and Western. Housed in a contemporary multi-level complex, the store provides a sophisticated atmosphere with wide aisles and bright lighting. A significant advantage is its extended accessibility, operating from early morning until late at night. This flexibility serves everyone from early commuters to late-night shoppers seeking quality ingredients after traditional retail hours.

The market is celebrated for its exceptional meat department and extensive selection of pre-marinated proteins. The quality of the butchery is evident in the marbling of the beef and freshness of the poultry. Complementing this is a robust produce department featuring everyday staples and hard-to-find Asian specialty vegetables. The store’s organization is impeccable, with dedicated sections for household goods and beauty products on the upper levels.

The prepared food section is a major draw, offering diverse hot and cold options like freshly made banchan and traditional soups. Because the market remains open late, it provides a reliable option for high-quality, ready-to-eat meals long after other kitchens have closed. Its modern aesthetic and accommodating hours make it a true pillar of the community.
