Dollar General to open in Vandergrift on Feb. 16, 2019.

The new Dollar General, replacing the former Sprankle’s market at 523 Franklin Ave. in Vandergrift will hold a grand opening Feb. 16.

The grand opening celebration will begin at 8 a.m. with free gift cards and giveaways, according to Angela Petkovic, spokeswoman for Dollar General.

Store hours will be 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.

In addition to health and beauty products, cleaning supplies, housewares and other items, the store will sell fresh dairy products such as milk, bread and a selection of refrigerated foods and frozen foods, according to Petkovic.

Sprankle’s, the family-run grocery store with locations in Leechburg and Kittanning, closed its Vandergrift location last year.

The owners decided to shutter the Vandergrift market, which it had owned for about a decade, because Dollar General was looking to move into town, according to Randy Sprankle, one of the store’s managers.
