ABOUT SPARKLE MARKETS
We strive to provide a personal and convenient shopping experience where customers are greeted by specialists in departments that offer quality products at affordable prices.
Sparkle Markets are owned and operated by local families who care about the communities in which they work and live.
OUR STORY
The history of Sparkle Markets dates back to 1955, when four local independent grocers sought to achieve one common goal: provide customers with neighborly service and high-quality products at the lowest prices possible. And after merging with an Akron-area group of grocers, they achieved just that by opening the first neighborhood Sparkle. Throughout the years, this quaint collection of local grocery stores gave big chains a run for their money, remaining “big enough to serve its community, yet small enough to care.”
Today, there are 17 Sparkle Markets serving communities in Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, all sharing the same original values of friendly service, quality products and low prices. Throughout the years, store ownership has been passed from father to son to daughter, ultimately maintaining the core principles of Sparkle Markets.

COMMITMENT TO

Each week, we find and test three recipes for you to easily replicate and serve to your own family. Each dish is made with simple, affordable ingredients sourced from your local Sparkle. Stop at the front of our stores for a printed copy of the week's recipes or visit our online Recipe Archive to see what's cooking in the Great Groceries kitchen.
