For convenient, quick shopping it works. The prices are a tad steep but the convenience to my residence makes it worthwhile. The staff here have always been professional and pleasant to me and my service dog. While they admire him they never approach to ask to pet him. I appreciate that a lot.

SPARKLE is your typical, independent grocery store. A little dog-eared, unpretentious and in moderate need of some modernization. It's the type of place everyone bitches about until it closes; then they lament the fact that they are stuck living in a food desert.I don't play those games. While I don't shop there exclusively, I do so proudly.With a florist, pharmacy, bakery and deli under one roof you can check a lot off your errand list at Sparkle. The bakery is adequate, and the deli is a damn sight better than the pig slop Wal-Mart will sell you. I've also gotten some surprisingly great deals on beer and wine.There's a WRTA bus stop in front of Sparkle, so those who aren't fortunate enough to own a car can still pick up a birthday cake, prescription drug or missing ingredient for that new recipe.That's important.Profit margins are paper thin in the grocery game and I'm surprised places like Sparkle can stay afloat in the current year. But I'm thankful they do.

I am not shopping here again. I almost left in tears. The girl at the cheese and meat counter was not very nice. I asked if I could have a chunk of salami cut. She says it already comes sliced. I again asked for a half pound just cut from the salami. Very rudely she says I already said that it comes already sliced. I walked away. There were two different salamis ( uncut) in the window. Btw I have gotten it done this way before. I use it for chunks in a salad. I go to checkout and the woman checking me out was nice until I used my ebt card. I told her thank you as she gave me my receipt. She goes uh huh. As I'm walking out the guy behind me asked her day was going. She says, ok, just some people ugh! And looks at me. Who are you to judge? All I had was some bread, hot dogs and carrots. Even if I had steak and lobster you have no idea what is going on in someone's life. Very disappointed. I have been shopping there for years and have always had a nice experience. Today just made me wonder where the kindnesses in this world had gone.

Absolutely terrible. My family and I waited all day to come and get their fried chicken I arrive here at 5:15 only to be told that they only have three pieces left because they stop making it 5 o'clock. Not dinner time not after dinner time but they stop before dinner time. Makes no sense whatsoever if you want money you have product when people want it. Will not shop here again

I've recently moved to Cornersburg so doing some Sparkle to go with my Giant Eagle...just one complaint, but a major one...have recently purchased their bagels and muffins in the bakery...just god-awful, the bagels dry as a bone and tough...the muffins also mostly dry with the moisture in them having the texture of wet cement, gritty...hard to believe these items passed quality control..please improve

I only shop at Sparkle based on convenience. It is closer to home than any other food market. The price point is expensive, and the store itself, while not necessarily dirty, just needs an update. Being from Allegheny County in Pittsburgh PA, this store reminds me of Kuhn's. If you are from there or have ever been to one, you would know why I say that. The bakery has fresh baked goods, and is fairly tasty. They also have a hot foods section with many different choices. The food was fresh, but could use more seasonings. Again very convenient, but not my first choice.

You can only access this Coinstar the hours that Sparkles is open, because it is in their lobby. I would only use one of these machines if I was in a ridiculous hurry, as the see on all of these machines is high in my opinion.
