Franciscan Square is a wonderful hub and center of commerce in Steubenville and related to Franciscan. With its strategic location to FUS and right next to downtown, the Square allows us to serve customers across the valley and passing through the valley as they enter “The Gateway to the Midwest.” The square allows us to connect with great neighbors, new visitors and longtime locals in a comfortable, unique place!

I love having my business here in Franciscan Square because it connects me with a growing university, a thriving local scene and a community that values connection and growth with our faith.

I love having McCarthy's Harp & Habit at Franciscan Square. The space is always well cared for. In the winter I never have to worry about plowing or salting. The landscaping is always looked after as well. There is great communication with events and planning and the use of the space is great for events and entertainment. There is a true effort to help these businesses thrive.
