Sparkle Markets — Local services in Youngstown

It always seems like when they have something on sale you better get there with in the first day or 2 of that sale or your not going to get that sale item because they are going to sell out of it, they don't get enough of it in to cover the sale for the entire length of time of the sale they fill the shelf up and then once the shelf gets empty that it there no more to sell of that item even tho there still 5 more days to go of the sale so everyone else that comes in to buy that item from the sale is S.O.L. and I'm sorry that not right, don't put it on sale if you don't have enough of it to go around or put a limit on it, if you have say a dozen if eggs on sale for $2.99 a dozen limit it to 2 or 3 dozen per costumer so there enough to go around so that someone from say a lesser store can't come in and buy a case of it to take it to their store and mark it up and sell it and then none of your other customers gets screwed over because you sold out of them. That was like that quickly mart that used to be a few blocks over from me, it was a little store and in the same building was a bar and then there was 2 apartments upstairs well the bar had a fire last year and they tore it all down, but that store would go to like Aldi to buy most of their stock for the store then they would bring it back to the store and mark it up like 15% and resale it. I caught them doing that several times they didn't use like a box truck they just did it with the owners car. To me that not right and that should be illegal to do. ( and if your reading this and you do this shabby ass shit in your store you should be ashamed of yourself for ripping people off) oh and then like the one time I bought a 12 pack of Coca-Cola from there it was 1 price but because I went to pay for it with my ebt card they marked it up another 15% so in which they had marked it up a total of 30%, I was pissed when I looked at my receipt and I saved the receipt then I confronted the owner the next time I saw him about it he said they have to buy the stuff on their own so they have to mark it up and everything the use the ebt machine they have to pay for...

I love this place i unfortunately they have changed and not for the better the workers there are great. However idk whats going on but the shelves aren’t getting restocked like they should and the only answer u get is idk. I stopped shopping at walmart even tho they are cheaper. This store has quality. I depend on them for everything i need I spend alot in that store weekly . Now i have another issue for my Christmas i always buy their cookies and other bakery items for my Christmas holidays and gatherings. Now its looking like im going to have to find something else. They have NOTHING and when i asked 1st is the truck didn’t come in, now its i dont know. Come on sparkle get it together. No chips no cookies.

I give them a 2 because of the quality they give. Should be a 5 But there out of most things i buy. so i had to go to rulli’s to get what i need cant keep doing the...

Prices are very high. Also, I've purchased spoiled milk from here on 3 separate occasions - all 3 gallons were 1 week or more away from their expiration date. I also used to purchase the Lindy's Italian Ice 3-4 times per week and probably 50% of the boxes had ices inside which had liquid syrup .. In fact i bought a box 30 minutes ago and am eating 1 now which has an inch of liquid on top - between this and the milk, this tells me their food sits out for long periods of time before it is properly stored away. I've never purchased already spoiled milk or partially syrup Italian Ices from Giant Eagle or even Aldi's or Save-a-lot.

I've had suspicions about meat I'm eaten that was bought there also but cooked meat is hard to tell if it's bad. I only buy items which can't spoil from here .. And only if it's an absolute emergency. The younger manager girl also always has am attitude and is very rude .. she is always working at the cigarette checkout line.

The cops that work here are cool though!! Avoid this store if at...
