ALTOONA, Pa. -- On May 4, 2013, Sheetz hit the coveted milestone of one million fans on Facebook. To celebrate its "awesome Sheetz Freakz," the convenience retailer hosted a weeklong celebration featuring contests, prizes and events. And Stan Sheetz got in on the action with a video "thank you" to the chain's fans.
Actually, that's "thanks a million."
Established in 1952 in Altoona, Pa., Sheetz has more than $6 billion in annual revenue and more than 15,000 employees. The company operates approximately 440 locations throughout Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and West Virginia. All of the Sheetz locations are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The locations offer fresh food items such as Sheetz' signature Made-To-Order (MTO) items that include Angus beef burgers, premium grilled chicken sandwiches, freshly made salads, French fries, onion rings and more, ordered through touch-screen order-point terminals.. The stores also feature MTGo! and Shweetz Bakery lines of sandwiches, wraps, donuts and muffins, along with Sheetz Bros. Coffeez, a full-service espresso and smoothie bar staffed by a trained barista where customers can order handmade specialty coffee drinks including lattes, cappuccinos and mochas--hot, frozen or iced.
