Grafton Sparkle Market

Great hometown blast from the past. Could use some remodeling but I hear it's currently in the process. Staff is always beyond incredibly friendly and helpful. I've been going here for 14 years and have never had a bad experience. Be sure to drive slow through the parking lot.

Okay so formally the sparkle grocery store I've been shopping here for about a year just recently saw the interior signs starting to change to Albert's fresh market. pros and cons about any little country grocery store they have to be competitive but they don't get the traffic like one of the big name brand places. You just need to be aware of the shopping sometimes shopping more than one place. Some prices are lower than say Walmart and some prices are much higher I don't really see a rhyme or reason to it, but it is the most convenient spot to my house. The meat is always good and fresh and the deli is great they do close I think maybe an hour before the store closes. The staff there is amazing I've never encountered anybody working here that wasn't respectful polite helpful and most everyone always has a smile on their face. Someone had mentioned to me when I first started shopping there that things go past their expiration date often. Now I personally have not encountered that myself I do notice that when bakery and whatnot gets close to expiration same with meats they will put a sticker on it for quick sale with a discount but there's always a note saying used today or freeze. Which I think most stores do the same. I like shopping here for the convenience but I do have my phone out while I'm shopping and compare prices to drug Mart and Walmart.

I got some of the worst quality chicken I've ever eaten in all of my life here. I've never experienced worse chicken. Walmarts chicken is better and Walmart is awful. Not sure why fresh off the grill you cannot even cut this chicken but all packages of chicken we got at this location is so bad I had to throw it out. They need to figure out a new supplier because this is horrible quality meat

Let's be honest, it's a mess. New owners will be busy addressing years of neglect. From what I heard, they appear to be up for it. Stay tuned, there is hope for a real grocery.

When you walk in you feel like you stepped on a movie set from the 70’s. It’s hilariously outdated and smells old and incredibly overpriced but I still love it!! It’s an experience shall we say.

Man I wish they would totally gut this place and remake it. Staff is great, nice beer selection, and deli needs work.

Alberts: 4 stars Wow things are shaping up. New roof, new pavement. Getting positive vibes from the revamps that the store is doing. Sparkle: 2 stars The prices were high, the cracked floors, stains on the ceiling and old coolers...this store isn't geared towards the customer shopping experience. You have to watch for expired products.. The bakery is good.

No longer wanted my deli meat after the lady behind the counter hacked out a lung over the slicer and continued slicing like nothing happened.

So grateful that they are bringing the store back to life!! Love all the new changes done and the rest to come!! Thank you for saving our hometown store

Great folks, easy to find what you need and get on your way.
