DILLSBURG, Pa. -- Sheetz Inc. has opened its 350th convenience store. The location is in Dillsburg, in York County, Pa. The new store brings the total number of stores in Pennsylvania to 199.
The doors officially opened to customers on Thursday, and employees hosted a grand opening celebration with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the afternoon, attended by customers, staff and local media. As part of the festivities, the company will make a donation to the Logan Park Authority to help maintain its soccer and Little League baseball fields.
"Being able to open our 350th store is exciting [image-nocss] for us. We've been in business here for many years and we're happy to reach this milestone in York County," said Louie Sheetz, executive vice president of marketing for Altoona, Pa.-based Sheetz Inc. "Sheetz also has a long tradition of being involved in youth-centered activities so today we are happy to make a commitment to support the athletic programs that benefit the children of this community."
Sheetz offers customers a menu of Made-To-Order (MTO) subs, sandwiches and salads. The new store features cold and toasted subs, a variety of salads, along with French fries, onion rings, chicken fingers, burgers and much more, all made fresh to order, just the way the customer wants at reasonable prices.
The store will also feature Sheetz Bros. Coffeez, a full-service espresso and smoothie bar staffed by a trained barista. Customers can order handmade specialty coffee drinks including lattes, cappuccinos and mochas—hot, frozen or iced. Frozen fruit smoothies round out the specialty drink menu. Also, Sheetz offers premium brewed self-serve coffees made from 100% Arabica beans in a variety of flavors such as Breakfast Blend, Serious Dark Roast, 100% Colombian and Hazelnut.
As always at Sheetz, customers place their food and specialty coffee orders at touchscreen order kiosks. A surcharge-free ATM and a variety of retailer gift and phone cards are available for the convenience of busy customers.
