Myers grocery opens in Medina with founder's grandson present

As the sun rose over Medina on May 8, excitement buzzed through the air, marking the grand opening of Myers grocery store. Early birds began lining up as early as 3:30 AM, eager to be among the first to step inside the new establishment when doors opened at 6:30 AM. Among the crowd was Hank Meyer’s grandson, who shared a light-hearted moment about the renovations happening at nearby grocery stores, which are being painted to match the vibrant colors of Myers. “I’m not sure if I should be flattered or scared,” he remarked, to which the response was a reassuring, “flattered seems more appropriate.”

The meeting also highlighted upcoming community events that promise to bring residents together. The Medina Farmer's Market will take place every Saturday in May, offering fresh produce and local goods. On May 17, a Gospel Fest is set to fill the air with music from 2 to 5 PM, while the Medina City School’s “Strings in the Park” event will take place on May 22 from noon to 1 PM, weather permitting. Additionally, Ladies Night Out is scheduled for the same day from 4 PM to 10 PM, providing a perfect opportunity for socializing and shopping.

As the month draws to a close, the annual Medina Half Marathon will kick off on May 24, starting at 6:45 AM and running until 11 AM, inviting both seasoned runners and enthusiastic participants to join in the fun.

These events not only celebrate the new store but also foster a sense of community, bringing residents together to enjoy the vibrant culture of Medina. As the city continues to grow and evolve, the spirit of togetherness remains a cornerstone of its identity.
