Sheetz Opens Zebulon, N.C., Store

Raleigh-area unit is 20th in state
ZEBULON, N.C. -- Sheetz Inc. has opened a convenience store in Zebulon, N.C., just outside Raleigh. While doors officially opened to customers November 26, employees will host a grand opening celebration with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for customers and media on December 4. As part of the celebration, the company will make a donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Zebulon.

"People in the Raleigh-Durham area have been good to us at Sheetz, and we're happy to continue to provide the best possible service 24 hours a day to help people get through their busy lives," said Louie [image-nocss] Sheetz, executive vice president marketing for the convenience retailer.

The new store features cold and toasted Made to Order (MTO) subs, a variety of salads, along with French fries, onion rings, chicken fingers, burgers and more.

The 5,000 square-foot store will also feature Sheetz Bros. Coffeez, a full-service espresso and smoothie bar staffed by a trained barista. Customers can order hand-made specialty coffee drinks including lattes, cappuccinos and mochashot, 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.

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.

It is the 20th Sheetz c-store to open in the state. The chain opened a store in Greenville, N.C., in late October.

Altoona, Pa.-based Sheetz, with more than $3.9 billion in revenue for 2008 and more than 11,000 employees, operates more than 350 convenience locations throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina.
