As with 'Hollywood Babylon", by the, now late, Kenneth Anger, it's all about yellow journalism for book sales & that is now used as 'click bait'. When a person does actual research, most of those ridiculous Hollywood stories are proved completely false & usually made up by the reporter as a sick form of attention seeking.

I used to live in Hollywood, so I got curious about the Ranch Market. There's a blog post on the history of it here, which you probably found already. https://martinostimemachine.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-hollywood-ranch-market.html
From what it sounds like here, it was a bit of a destination for the cool kids. There's a photo of Dean in front of it that the caption dates to 1955.
