BACKSTORY: Sheetz, Inc. is an American chain of convenience stores and coffee shops owned by the Sheetz family. The stores sell a mix of fast food and convenience store items, and nearly all of them sell gasoline as well. Its headquarters are in Altoona, Pennsylvania.^[3] Stores are located in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia, and eastern and north-central North Carolina.

Sheetz has long employed the “Z” that the name ends with, and the “Sh” that the name begins with, in various marketing efforts. These include the Sheetz loadable gift card, the Sheetz Z-Card; the Sheetz chicken wings, known and marketed as “Shwingz”; the Sheetz breakfast sandwich, known and marketed as “Shmuffinz”; and their “Nachoz.”

Sheetz announced in November 2019 that the chain would expand into Greater Columbus starting in 2021,^[23]with plans to open 60 locations in the region by 2025, more than doubling its existing store count in Ohio.^[24]Upon Sheetz’s arrival in the area with the opening of the first of two stores in Delaware in April 2021, Travis Sheetz said that the company had considered expanding into Columbus as early as the late 1990s when the company first expanded into Northeast Ohio, but decided to expand into North Carolina instead and only recently started expanding into Central Ohio due to many social mediarequests from transplants now living in the area asking for Sheetz.^[25]

Following the chain’s successful expansion into the Columbus market, in April 2022 Sheetz announced an expansion into the Dayton, Ohio, market beginning in 2024. The move will put Sheetz up head-to-head with Casey’s for the first time, while also competing with Speedway, Circle K, and UDF in the market.^[26]^[27]

Sheetz announced in November 2022 that the chain would expand into Michigan, its first new state in over 20 years,^[28] beginning in Metro Detroit with a planned opening in 2025.^[6]Sheetz then announced an expansion to nearby Greater Toledo shortly thereafter.^[29] On December 23, 2022, Sheetz announced an expansion into Wilmington, North Carolina to keep expanding south.

The first Sheetz in Montgomery County, Maryland opened in August 2023 in Gaithersburg.^[30]That month, Sheetz announced they would open a new distribution center in Findlay, Ohio, to support expansions into new markets.^[31] Sheetz opened its first Michigan location, in Romulus, Michigan, on August 27, 2024.^[32]
