Movement on old Calhoun Super Service site 10/04/2017 - One of Grantsville's historical businesses, the long closed Calhoun Super Service that stretched for a block, could be coming down, or at least a part of it. The business was incorporated in 1935 by L.J. Morris, C.A. Jarvis, and Ernest Mollohan. The business was expanded in later years to Glenville, Weston, and Harrisville. The last model year that autos were sold was 1986.

Satterfield, who fought for a number of years to build a large convenience store in center Grantsville, has yet to say what the disposition of the property might be. The long structure contains a number of add-on buildings, from the historical Bowling Clinic and Thompson's Drug Store on Main Street, early endeavors, to others that were used for a car dealership, auto repair, furniture and appliance store. Over the years, numerous businesses have occupied the complex.
