Sheetz Opens 700th Store

Convenience retailer Sheetz has reached a store count milestone as it continues to expand from the East Coast into the Midwest.

Sheetz’s newest store in the metro Columbus, Ohio area is also its 700th. Located at 8059 Columbus Pike in Delaware, Ohio, the retailer hosted a special grand opening ceremony on Tuesday that included a tractor trailer filled with local food donations, major giveaways including Free Sheetz for a Year and more.

“As a family, we are humbled to celebrate this remarkable milestone and are thankful to each and everyone of our employees, past and present, who have helped make this possible,” said Travis Sheetz, president and CEO of Sheetz. “Driven by a mission to constantly reinvent ourselves and put the Sheetz as we know it today, out of business, I couldn’t be more excited about the future and our path to 1,000 stores.”

The 700th store comes two years after Sheetz opened its first Columbus-area store, quickly growing to more than 20. Sheetz opened its first-ever Dayton-area location on Aug. 29, with plans to open approximately 20 locations in Dayton over the next five years, while expanding into the Toledo area in 2025.

Currently serving six states, Altoona, Pa.-based Sheetz isn’t stopping its Midwest growth in Ohio. Last year, Sheetz announced it would expand into Michigan, with its first store to open in 2025, starting in the Detroit market.
