Brown Ranch Marketplace is located off Highway #1 in the heart of the Santa Cruz County regional shopping area in the City of Capitola across from Santa Cruz County’s only enclosed shopping mall, Capitola Mall. With the only enclosed mall in the County, and the only department stores, the 41st Avenue/Clares Street shopping area draws customers from all over Santa Cruz County. In addition to the permanent residents who shop in the area, there are students from the University of California at Santa Cruz and Cabrillo College as well as millions of tourists who visit Santa Cruz County every year. Brown Ranch Marketplace is 85,000 sf with co-tenancy of Trader Joe’s, Michaels, FedEx Office and more. Brown Ranch Marketplace is positioned in the best location to benefit from the existing shopping traffic. Cafe-style outdoor seating, market umbrellas and benches are provided throughout the center, complemented by extensive landscaping and raised planters. Visibility from the street and the mall is enhanced by the slightly higher elevation of the center, which faces the Capitola Mall. Brown Ranch Marketplace is locally owned and operated by the Brown Family, locals since 1911.
