Local Spotlight: Haven City Market

It’s no secret that Southern California is a massive stretch of land that encompasses a diverse variety of cities housing different landscapes, etchnic backgrounds, personalities, and more. With that being said, the options were endless when deciding where to establish Haven City Market.

 

However, due to its rich history and agricultural background, Rancho Cucamonga was always it. And if you’re planning to pay a visit anytime soon, we’re sharing everything you need to know to get the best experience possible — straight from the team at Haven City Market. Let’s get into it.

As its name suggests, Haven City Market was established to truly be a haven for the community. A place to gather, a place to reconnect, a place to eat, a place to play, and a place to allow the entire community to discover local businesses and incredible experiences all under a single roof.
