ALTOONA, Pa. -- Sheetz Inc. has opened a new 5,000-square-foot convenience store in Wilson, N.C.
The newest addition to the 332-store chain is the 11th location in North Carolina for Sheetz. While the store opened to the public yesterday, employees will host a community grand opening celebration Thursday, March 1, with a ribbon cutting ceremony set for 3:30 p.m. that day for customers and the media.
As part of the March 1 festivities, the company will present $2,500 to The C of Wilson.
"It's exciting for [image-nocss] us at Sheetz any time we are able to bring our latest concepts in convenience to a new area," said Louie Sheetz, executive vice president, marketing, Sheetz, Inc. "We are grateful for the opportunity to reach out to a new part of North Carolina and we hope our donation to The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club will benefit many."
Sheetz offers its new menu with a variety of fresh Made-To-Order items. The new store in Wilson features cold and toasted subs, freshly made salads, along with hot fries, onion rings, chicken fingers and burgers. Self-serve milkshakes and self-serve bakery items are all available at the new store, as well.
It also offers Sheetz Bros. Coffeez, a full-service espresso bar staffed by a trained barista. Customers can order handmade coffee drinks including lattes, cappuccinos and mochashot, frozen or iced. Frozen fruit smoothies round out that menu.

As always at Sheetz, customers place their food and specialty coffee orders at touchscreen order kiosks located both inside the store and outside at the fuel island.
