The Issue

Our Plea

​For nearly three decades, Dragon Buffet in Medina, Ohio, has been more than just a restaurant; it has been a beloved community hub and a staple in so many of our lives. Family-owned and operated, this cherished venue has hosted countless gatherings—from sports team celebrations to family parties, and even New Year's and holiday celebrations. Many of us have fond memories of sharing meals and moments with our loved ones in the welcoming atmosphere of Dragon Buffet.

​The Future of Our Community Staple

​Unfortunately, this treasured local establishment is now at risk. Meijer, as the prospective property owner and developer, has put plans underway for the construction of a gas station and convenience store on the very site where Dragon Buffet proudly stands. This isn't just about losing a restaurant; it's about losing a piece of our community's heart and history.

​In Medina, we pride ourselves on valuing our local businesses and the unique character they bring to our community. We have seen how big corporate developments can overshadow and dismantle the charm and history that independent, family-owned businesses provide. It's crucial to stand up now and show that we believe in preserving the rich heritage and support system these businesses offer.

​A Call for Alternative Solutions

​We respectfully ask Meijer, the city officials, and the developers to reconsider this plan. The construction of a Meijer gas station and convenience store can be achieved without destroying a local institution.

​There are alternative locations available for the Meijer gas station, including areas within the expansive existing Meijer Supercenter parking lot, or adjacent space behind the complex. We urge Meijer to utilize one of these viable alternatives, demonstrating a commitment to being a true community partner that supports existing local businesses.

​We are calling on Meijer to reconsider the placement of the gas station so that Dragon Buffet can continue to be a place where memories are made.

​Please join us in standing up for Dragon Buffet by signing this petition. Let's ensure that future generations can experience the joy and warmth of this beloved restaurant, and let our voices be heard loud and clear. Your support can make all the difference and help save a piece of Medina's heart. Sign now to take a stand for our community!
