“We want to take this time to thank all of our patrons that supported us through the years, coming from Spears Creek all the way to Sparkleberry,” the restaurant said in its Facebook post. “YOU are the reason we were able to take this restaurant to such great heights. From karaoke, to salsa, to our car meets, to cigars and spirits, slingshot night, bike night, and every other event we were able to make possible for the community. We have made so many lasting memories and friendships through this business and hope to keep them forever.”
The closure announcement drew a big response on Facebook, with nearly 130 reactions, more than 50 comments and nearly 20 shares as of Aug. 18. Many of the restaurants fans lamented the closure in the comments.

“We are so sad,” one commenter on the Facebook post said. “Your restaurant was the site of many of our date nights. The food was always delicious and your drinks never disappointed. We are going to miss this place so much.”
Chicanas Bar & Grill’s Sparkleberry Lane location placed it near a number of well-known national businesses, including a Kroger, a Publix, a Kohl’s and other offerings.
