Arkell's also purchased the Campbell and Walker Cannery in Niagara-on-the-Lake in 1962, and this plant was managed by Bob Arkell. The Niagara-on-the-Lake Plant was used mostly as a receiving station, but also operated as a small canning operation.

In the late 1980's Bob bought the business from his brothers who had retired with intentions of having his son take over. With competition from the U.S.A. and the decreasing prices being paid for canned produce, the company closed in 1993.
