    Campbell's Market - McArthur, Ohio

    Published: Mar 4, 2021 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 2 Comments

    Ah, a scrappy, small-town grocery store. I love these types of groceries, not the convenience-store bulked up, not a Dollar Store masquerading as a grocery, but an honest-to-goodness independent. So when I saw this market in the tiny town of McArthur, Ohio, I had to check it out (people not on our email list who stumble upon this post: I used to be in the grocery business and while I am not any more I maintain an affinity for the local, hometown grocer!)

    McArthur, Ohio is the 1500 population county seat of Vinton County, Ohio. It's a rural, wooded county and if it were not for Campbell's Market, the nearest full-service grocery would probably be a 30 minute drive.

    Well, I just did a little online digging and Campbell's open in 2017. Before that, a Super Valu served the town but it closed in 2013, leaving the county will no grocery at all for four long years until Campbell's opened.

    This banana cake looks really good!

    So does this pie!

    Plenty of bread!

    Look at those thick steaks. A hometown, local meat counter is the hallmark of a great local grocery store!

    More meat!

    Plenty of everything!

      Campbell's Market looks like my kind of market. I notice the meat case is fine looking beef....except where are the bones ?? I love a nice meat case , but I also love the bone in the roast, It looks like a nice drive over to Ohio to visit the market this spring when it warms up.
      I enjoy your posts , and I miss the days gone bye.

        That's true, Rita, the steaks do seem to lack bones...maybe they just don't show up in my photo very well?
