Don’t we deserve
better options?
The Buena Park Municipal Code currently prohibits the sale of groceries in certain zoning areas within the City.
As a result, some large retail stores that residents already rely on for everyday shopping are not allowed to sell groceries or fresh produce, even when they are well-suited to do so.
This restriction limits consumer choice, reduces competition, and contributes to higher grocery prices for all residents.
Why it matters
- Grocery prices are rising, putting pressure on families, seniors, and individuals trying to make ends meet.
- Limiting where groceries can be sold reduces competition, which can keep prices higher than necessary.
- Residents have fewer convenient options for purchasing fresh, affordable, and healthy food.
A simple solution
A voter initiative is currently circulating that provides a simple solution to amend the Buena Park Municipal Code. Voters are being asked to help qualify the measure for a future ballot. If passed by Buena Park voters, this initiative would:
- Allow the sale of groceries at retail supermarkets and discount stores in all zones within the City.
- Remove outdated restrictions that limit where groceries can be sold.
- Create a more level playing field for retailers while benefiting consumers.
Buena Park residents deserve fair access to affordable food and modern shopping options.
Updating the Municipal Code to allow grocery sales in all zones is a practical, commonsense change that supports families, encourages competition, and helps address the rising cost of living in our community.
