For many of us in Joplin, Missouri, visiting Orange Leaf was a cherished routine. I, personally, frequented the place, relying on it not just for the outstanding frozen yogurts but also for the sense of community it offered. Like me, numerous others miss it and nurture a desire to bring it back.

Orange Leaf gifted us innovative, delicious frozen yogurt options that took care of our health with low-fat and sugar-free choices. It was also a thriving part of our local economy, encouraging small-scale dairy farmers and suppliers. In 2016, the frozen yogurt industry was estimated to contribute $194 million to the national economy, illustrating the significant economic role these businesses can play (Source: Statista).

In light of this, we urge local city officials and Orange Leaf corporate leadership to consider reopening the branch in Joplin. With your endorsement, we could restore a beloved local hangout and bolster our local economy. Sign this petition to support the revival of Orange Leaf in Joplin, MO. Together, we can bring back our cherished memories and create many new ones.
