Vinton County was a food desert after SuperValu closed in 2013 until Campbell's Market opened in McArthur in 2017
It wasn’t that long ago that Vinton County — the least populated county in Ohio with about 12,560 people — was a food desert. The county’s only grocery store SuperValu closed in 2013, forcing residents to travel roughly 30 minutes one way to grocery stores like Kroger and Walmart in Athens, Logan, Jackson, Chillicothe or Wellston.
