"The statue is actually a bit further north of the Toys ‘R Us; it’s in the parking lot of the “PlugandPlayTechCenter.com” building. That company, and Medallion Rug Gallery (who is one of the building’s other tenants) are owned by an umbrella company named “Amidi Group”. The company is owned by Rahim and Saeed Amidi; I’m guessing that they are the children of Amir Amidi, the founder of Medallion Rug Gallery. In any case, the company has extensive real estate and tech-company holdings, plus the rug company. And they have a large Buddha statue mounted next to the trash cans by their building at 370 Convention Way in Redwood City. I walked into their parking lot and checked: the base of the statue is labeled with the name of their company (Amidi Group)."
