Sparkle closed on Jan. 31 after five years in business in Westgate Plaza. The Columbiana, Ohio-based supermarket chain opened its Union Township location on Nov. 6, 2018, the day after Shop 'n Save closed.

The Hometown Pharmacy, located inside the store, moved its operations and employees from there to its flagship store at 20 E. Lawrence Ave. in downtown New Castle.
