"People in Lancaster have long stood by our business, and for that we are thankful," said Stan Sheetz, president and CEO of the chain. "We look forward to building an even stronger friendship with this community with the new store."
The 5,000 square-foot facility [image-nocss] will offer fresh food items such as the MTGo! and Shweetz Bakery lines of sandwiches, wraps, donuts and muffins, along with the signature Made-To-Order (MTO) line of Angus beef burgers, premium grilled chicken sandwiches, freshly made salads, french fries, onion rings and more. Sheetz Bros. Coffeez, a full-service espresso and smoothie bar staffed by a trained barista is going to be available at the new store.
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.
Sheetz is also proud of its tradition of giving back to the communities in which it operates. Especially important to the organization is finding ways to be involved with today's young people. As part of the grand opening celebration, the company made a donation to Lancaster Parks & Recreation for its summer swimming programs.
Altoona, Pa.-based Sheetz, with more than $4.9 billion in revenue for 2008 and more than 12,000 employees, operates more than 350 convenience locations throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina. All Sheetz convenience stores are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
