Sheetz Breaks Ground On First Michigan Location
Convenience store chain Sheetz recently broke ground on the retailer’s first store in the Detroit metropolitan area.
Located at 33380 Wick Road, in the community of Romulus, this will be the first of 50 to 60 locations Sheetz plans to open in the Detroit area within the next five to six years. This store is projected to open to the public later this year.
“Michigan is the first new state for Sheetz in two decades and we cannot wait for people to experience this first store, and everything our company has to offer,” said Travis Sheetz, president and CEO of Sheetz. “We look forward to creating great jobs for Detroit-area residents, providing total customer focus for our community members, and being a good neighbor that is actively involved in every neighborhood our stores will serve.”
Each store location will have approximately 30 employees, the majority of which are planned to be full-time. Sheetz was recently ranked third in the latest Best Workplaces in Retail list by Fortune, trailing only Wegmans Food Markets and Target for the second straight year.
When open, Sheetz will offer the community an award-winning menu of made-to-order food and premium beverages such as breakfast, subs, sandwiches, salads, pizza, coffee, cold brew, milkshakes, smoothies and much more - all available 24/7/365. Sheetz also has one of the largest charging networks in the country.
The company currently operates more than 720 locations across Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, and Maryland, with all locations open 24/7, 365 days a year.
