A restaurant veteran is bringing his vision to Westerville’s vacant, 87-year-old State Theater.

Kevin Campbell plans to open 8 State Bistro in the former-theater-turned-store in December.

Campbell, who worked in operations management at Max & Erma’s for 22 years, said he was always intrigued as he passed by the old theater at 8 N. State St. in Westerville’s uptown.
