Sheetz Opens in Schuylkill Haven

197th location in Pennsylvania, 347th in chain

ALTOONA, Pa. -- Sheetz Inc. has opened a new location, in Schuylkill Haven, Pa. The store is the 197th Sheetz store in Pennsylvania, bringing the chainwide total to 347. The doors officially opened to customers on Wednesday; employees hosted a grand opening celebration with a ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday.

As part of the festivities, the company made a donation to the Blue Mountain School District. The contribution will be used for its Interactive Learning Though Technology Program to purchase Smartboards and other electronic learning equipment.

The new Sheetz location offers [image-nocss] customers the usual menu of Made-To-Order (MTO) cold and toasted subs, a variety of salads, along with French fries, onion rings, chicken fingers, burgers and more, all made fresh to order 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. For those who prefer to pour their own, 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 also available at the store.

Altoona, Pa.-based Sheetz, a family-owned and operated convenience store chain with more than $3.9 billion in revenue for 2007 and more than 11,000 employees, operates more than 340 convenience locations throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina.
