Campbell’s Market in McArthur gets resurfaced, restriped parking lots
Campbell’s Market’s first-week-of-June lot work kept McArthur shoppers moving while McKee Paving resurfaced and restriped the store’s busy parking areas.
Shoppers pulling into Campbell’s Market in McArthur found a smoother approach in early June as crews resurfaced and restriped the store’s parking lots. The work was done in phases by McKee Paving, a move that kept convenient parking available while repairs were underway at 630 W. Main Street.
That sequencing mattered because Campbell’s is more than a quick stop for groceries. The market has built a steady customer base around fresh-cut deli meats, cheeses and other complementary products, making it one of the routine retail stops for people across Vinton County and beyond. A fresh lot and clear striping improve more than curb appeal: they help guide traffic flow, sharpen parking alignment and make pedestrian movement easier in a place that sees regular daily use.
The investment also fits the broader role Campbell’s has played in McArthur since opening on Oct. 25, 2017. The 12,000-square-foot store came after Vinton County went without its only full-service grocery store when SuperValu closed in 2013, forcing residents to travel to another county for fresh produce, meats, dairy and other basics. Finance Fund Capital Corporation backed the project with nearly $1.6 million through its Healthy Food for Ohio program, and the store created more than 30 local jobs.
That history is why a parking lot project carries more weight than a routine maintenance job. Campbell’s accepts SNAP and WIC benefits, which has helped make it a practical food source for families and seniors in a rural county where access can be limited. The store has also been described as an economic anchor, with the ability to draw additional development and support property values around it.
The McArthur location is part of a family business that dates to 1930 in Zanesville, and the company’s long-term presence shows in the way the store is used now. The Ohio Capital Journal has noted that Campbell’s helped seniors and other residents buy produce more conveniently and serves visitors heading into the Hocking Hills region. With the parking lots newly resurfaced and restriped, the store signaled that it is still investing in the daily traffic that keeps McArthur’s retail center moving.
