A Western Pennsylvanian convenience store chain has announced that they will expand their presence in their home market.
Reports say that Sheetz plans to expand in Western Pennsylvania by opening 30 more stores in the region. Locations have not yet been announced, but Sheetz Real Estate Director Brian Dinges said that he feels many areas can still benefit from the 24/7 convenience options that the stores would provide. The move comes as Sheetz’ main competitor, Wawa, has announced plans to expand its footprint in the state by opening up to 40 stores in Central Pennsylvania over the next three to five years. The two have been natural rivals, offering the same services at their stores.
This also comes as Sheetz announced an expansion into Michigan with a store to open in Detroit in 2025 and more later on, marking the first expansion into a new state in 20 years.
