Sheetz Begins Construction On First MI Location

ROMULUS, MI — Sheetz, a popular mid-Atlantic restaurant and gas station chain, began construction on its first Michigan location Thursday.

The Romulus location will open at 33380 Wick Road, roughly four miles from Metro Detroit airport. It is the first of 50 to 60 stores the popular store hopes to build in the metro Detroit area within the next five to six years.

"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," President and CEO of Sheetz Travis Sheetz said. "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."

The convenience store plans to offer its award-winning Made-to-Order menu, which allows local residents, or "Sheetz Freakz" to order any of Sheetz’s customized drinks or food items around the clock.

Sheetz operates 669 store locations across six states including Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland. All Sheetz locations are open 24/7, 365 days a year.
