UPDATE: 300+ Signatures! Proving Riverside Needs Diverse, High-Quality Shopping

We just hit a massive milestone—over 300 neighbors have signed this petition! Thank you all so much for your incredible support. This proves that our community is completely united in demanding better amenities for Riverside.

As we recently shared, our local City Council confirmed the old Kmart lot is locked in for townhomes, meaning that specific spot is officially out. But we are absolutely not stopping here. Our mission is more important than ever.

While the city continues to add housing, our neighborhood's commercial spaces are shrinking. We don't just want empty storefronts or more high-density housing—we deserve a vibrant, diverse, premium grocery and shopping experience right here in Riverside. We are tired of driving 40+ minutes to Chino or Orange County just to get quality global ingredients, fresh produce, and a great food court experience.

Here is what we are doing next: We recently received incredibly valuable feedback from the Korean American Center, suggesting we reach out to Zion Market, a fantastic premium Korean grocery chain headquartered right here in Southern California. Because they are local, they understand the Inland Empire market perfectly.

We are actively exploring this exciting new lead and expanding our outreach, but our ultimate goal remains the same: we welcome any new, high-quality, diverse market that is ready to bring a premium shopping experience to Riverside.

Local leadership has already been advocating to bring a premium Asian supermarket to the city—the corporate offices just need to see that the community demand is real.

Let's keep showing them exactly what Riverside wants. Please keep signing, sharing, and telling your friends—we are making our voices heard!
