Powerful Location
Park Shopping Center is part of a three-mile
commercial area on the main commuting artery (Grand Central
Avenue / Murdoch Avenue / WV14) between Parkersburg and
Vienna, West Virginia. The Center lies near the "traffic
circle" as it's known, where WV14, WV68 and the
Memorial Bridge to Belpre, Ohio intersect.
Every day, 42,000 cars travel past the
Center's entrance on WV14, which is the most heavily
traveled highway in the state. To the north of the center
are the 100-store Grand Central Mall, Wal-Mart and Sam’s
Club, several major franchise restaurants, a Comfort Inn, three other shopping centers and a number of smaller
strip centers. New retailers are opening all the time
within this prime area - the region's premiere retail
