🚨 URGENT UPDATE (June 2026): The city approved 340+ apartments for the Kmart lot! 🚨

However, our push for H Mart is far from over.

We recently learned directly from City Councilmember Chuck Conder that the vacant Kmart lot has unfortunately already been "entitled" by the city and is officially slated to become a massive new townhome and apartment complex. Like many of you in the neighborhood, I am deeply frustrated by this. We wanted diverse commercial amenities and a great place to shop, not high-density housing that will just add to our local traffic!

Councilmember Conder actually shared some incredible news: he has personally met with H Mart's corporate team at real estate events in Las Vegas for the last two years, actively trying to convince them to open a location right here in Riverside!

The problem? H Mart corporate told him they haven't seen enough "active interest" from our community yet to justify opening a store.

We need to prove them wrong. Mission Grove and the greater Riverside area still have massive retail potential and plenty of other vacant commercial spaces that would be perfect for a premium grocery store. We are tired of driving 40+ minutes to Chino or OC just to get quality global ingredients, fresh produce, and a great food court experience.

We need to give our City Council the grassroots ammunition they need to bring to their next meeting with H Mart. Let's show corporate that Riverside residents are united, our demand is real, and we are ready for them.

Please continue to sign and share this petition to bring H Mart to Riverside!
