In Popular Culture
The photorealist painter Robert Cottingham depicted a Ralphs supermarket in his 1968 painting Ralph's II, currently on display in the Milwaukee Museum of Art.
In the 1998 film The Big Lebowski, the character Jeff Lebowski's only form of identification is a Ralphs Club card. The film begins with Jeff Lebowski buying cream at a Ralphs in Venice, CA.
The supermarket is featured in a scene in the 1973 film Messiah of Evil, first in an establishment shot from the parking lot, followed by a crucial scene from within.
The supermarket is also featured in a scene in the 1976 Walt Disney comedy film, Gus, with Tom Bosley as Spinner and Tim Conway as his cohort in crime, Crankcase.
