Our Team

Ryan Sprankle — Head of Operations

Ryan got his start in the Sprankle’s family grocery business in 1998 while in high school. He continued working at his father’s store in Leechburg throughout his time at Shippensburg University until he graduated in 2003 and became Sprankle’s Operations Manager. In 2020, he became the owner of the Kittanning location. Aside from being the owner of the Sprankle’s Kittanning, Ryan is heavily involved in Sprankle’s social media presence, spearheading the Like & Share giveaway campaign, and has been involved in Sprankle’s Octoberfest since its inception in 2019. Ryan currently oversees operations for Octoberfest.

Brittany Lambermont — Event Coordinator

Brittany started out with Sprankle’s as an Octoberfest ambassador in June 2021, and was hired in July 2021 as the full-time event coordinator. Octoberfest is still her main squeeze, but she is also responsible for planning smaller scale Sprankle’s events throughout the year such as Beergiving, Stuff the #SaveOnMeat Bus, Campout for Community, all of the summer Pre-Mingles, and more.

Molly Nowakowski — Brand Ambassador

Molly has been a brand ambassador for Sprankle’s since the Saxonburg location opened in 2020. One of the original “Queens of Hustle,” she joined the Octoberfest ambassador team in the summer of 2021. Now you can find Molly and her husband Keith slinging giant Bavarian pretzels fresh from our wood-fired oven at most local Sprankle’s events, including Sprankle’s Pre-Mingles and the Saxonburg Mingle on Main throughout the summer.
