Thankz for sharing our story!!
HOLY SHEETZ
ya guys should get a convenience store near ohio state. i bet it would make a killing over the UDFs
What a lovely surprise
Why the Sheetz not?
Sheetz freak
I'm in a spot where I can drive to a Sheetz, Wawa, and soon a Royal Farms. What a time to be alive.
I'm 15 minutes from WaWa, Sheetz, Rutters, Royal Farms, 7-11, and our local Turkey Hill. All I need is a Buc-ees and I can die a happy man.
@shpfro south central PA is crazy for convenience stores
Aw man im so proud of you ! Congratulations 🎉🎉😂
The great trifecta!!
Royal Farms is where I learned that you can get good fried chicken at a gas station.
My married name is Sheetz. While I’m grateful for the ten locations in my one town, I’m most grateful for being able to say “Sheetz like the gas station” whenever speaking to an office.
As a guy who road tripped all around - finding a Sheetz (Wawa, too) was always a welcome respite from regular gas stations.
My wife is originally from Wilkes Barre. When this video started, she informed me that we are a Sheetz family 😂
Theres a new one in Larksville and one up by the mall now too
Sheetz is the GOAT. Found them while living in NC and it quickly became my favorite convenience store. Then moved to WV and it's literally a PRIMARY stop for me on a weekly basis. Incredible selection of protein bars, energy drinks, food, and even fruit.
When traveling through West Virginia Ohio or PA seeing a sheetz is like seeing a lighthouse in a strorm. Always have fresh food, fresh coffee, clean bathrooms and they're always open.
Forgot how clean the bathrooms are !! You are completely correct in your comment a bright light in our travels out of state - we get discounts in coffee/ snacks when we are out of state also ! Wish there were more states with Sheetz
Rest room cleanliness hit or miss experience.
I drive a lot for work, and I also feel the same exact way. I see that red and gravitate right to it.
Yes! I'm from Texas/Tennessee area (I end up living in both, long story) and whenever I drive out and see one I get so excited
Always nice to see a company that increases profits through better customer experience instead of through making it worse.
I've been with Sheetz for the past 6 years now. I love the fact that they go the extra mile to make sure all of their employees are well taken care of. From the great starting pay, to frequently promoting staff, amazing health benefits, 401k, multiple bonus pays; and that's not even scratching the surface. Another aspect I love is a slogan that most customers don't know about. We call it "TCF" which stands for "Total Customer Focus". As the company takes care of the employees, the employees make sure to give just as much care of the customers.
Hello Sheetz PR team
Come to upstate NY Sheetz!!
Bullshit. Nice try, corporate shill.
As someone who has the sheetz app and a sheetz membership, it is 1000% worth it to get as the rewards all go towards cheaper gas while the food is better than most fast food places at an affordable price. Would like to see them expand throughout the US!
I'm a Canadian who loves to travel into the US for Amusement Parks and Sheetz is literally my heaven. My family literally calls it's territory "Sheetz Country" and it's used as a bargaining tool to make trips happen. The food is always so good and so cheap, their Fries are always so fresh and their hot dogs are cheap and delicious, plus since it's like every other American gas station, there are fountain drinks and snacks too! Their menu is endless and we find something new every visit, we really really hope they expand into some border states with Ontario, like NY and MI, and then expand into Canada cause I think Canadians would eat this up, since Circle K expanded into Canada recently and has started offering Food and Fountain drinks, a market only captured by 7-Eleven. Canada needs Sheetz, Canada will embrace Sheetz!
I'm a retired truck driver from North Eastern Ohio, Love Sheetz for years
I’m usually a Wawa guy, but when we were moving to Chicago and driving through PA, Sheetz was a life saver. They were the only thing open on Christmas and the only place with enough room for our moving truck. I’d love to see them move out here
I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - AND I LOVE SHEETZ. When I am having a bad day at work, I daydream about a Sheetz run. There are billboards everywhere here that say "Sheetz run & done!". When Pennsylvania transitioned to electronic voting machines, I explained to nervous co-workers that voting is now just like ordering a sandwich at Sheetz. Because EVERYONE here knows how to order food at Sheetz. If they're expanding, that is awesome.
We have electronic voting machines?
We just got a new one here by Seven Springs
but when I order MTO, unlike voting, I get a receipt
I work at Sheetz. If you are looking for a job, GO WORK THERE. They are always hiring, the pay is very good, and the company is actually well built and supportive of its staff. 10/10
It depends. I know at least 2 guys that have said that it was hell working there. Specifically their manager's fault though
Surprising that Sheetz started touchscreen ordering in 1993 (way before Wawa), they were way ahead of their time. I’d want a Sheetz near me in South Florida.
Wawa is already in Florida and is expanding there and now into Georgia.
Living in Virginia, they are pretty popular here. Although liquor sales won't happen anytime soon, but they still have the Beer Cave. 2 more things I think also help them:
-Gas prices, like Wawa they tend to sell gas at a lower price than traditional gas stations. That draws in more customers who are also more likely to get food since they have a reputation for good food.
-Cleacln bathrooms, again like Wawa they try to keep the bathrooms nice. So, if you feel the need to go, you're a lot more likely to pick Sheetz over any other place because you can expect a clean bathroom.
I became a sheetz fan just last year. I was on a long distance motorcycle trip through the mid Atlantic region in late September. We had several days of crap weather, cold, rainy and wet. We stopped at a sheetz late one afternoon after riding through mud, rain and trash all day. Walking into sheetz and finding out I could order a hot meal and warm up inside was like being brought back from the dead. I'm glad they are expanding down into Ohio closer to me. I stop at Sheetz now any time I'm road tripping and have the opportunity.
Literally saw and went to Sheetz for the first time this past weekend while at Pittsburgh. Went inside to get water after a concert and was legit shocked by the made to order food. Got a chicken sandwich combo, it was so good, especially at 12 am, hoping we get them in NY soon
Sheetz will always have a place in my heart because I spent many a night there living in my car. Wake, up, get the breakfast flatbread, good.
Most didn't kick me out - one did, but only because I had been there for like 16 hrs because I was sick.
I will always be a diehard Sheetz freak! I grew up in PA watching Sheetz evolve into what it is today. Worked there in high school and college. Now I stop in every chance I get on road trips since I no longer live near any Sheetz. I heard Wawa is coming to my neighborhood. I’m not mad, but I’ll pretend to be! What a thorough and excellent video recap of one of my favorite companies. Thank you, Company Man! ❤🌭🥪🍟🤘🏼
The closest Sheetz is 70 miles away in Richmond Virginia. Years ago while travelling for work, I'd been to Sheetz in West Virginia and always loved it. PLEASE COME TO HAMPTON ROADS!
Your area is about to have a big boom of Sheetz and Wawas. Both have been slowing moving down I95 for years and I64 is the next logical step. Norfolk/VB/Williamsburg area is a huge gap in Sheetz's service area.
Hampton Roads is too shitty for Sheetz 😂 plenty up here in the nice part of VA!
@@TreyMo69 I'll trade you 4 7-11's and 1 wawa for a sheetze
@@davidosborn8782 hahahaha
Growing up in Pittsburgh with Sheetz was awesome. Their MTOs are amazing. I miss them down in in South Carolina where since we moved. When we go back home to Pittburgh to visit, we always hit the first Sheetz in North Carolina for Gas and a sandwich!
Im in a weird part of PA generally referred to as North East Central Pennsylvania. Its not very far past the larger area where the Sheetz end and the Wawas begin. I grew up around them, and they actually have super good planning as to where they put them. Like I just ate there today because I had an appointment at a smaller hospital and they have one right across the street. They also have them near highways and the like, very much places where gas, food, and stop breaks are needed.
The food is decent! Most of it is nothing super amazing and some of it is kinda bad, but its usually down to how a location does things and how good the individual employees are. But the drinks are always pretty nice.
The pay is really good, they have a very high pay relative to similar positions elsewhere. Sometimes management can be kind of crap, leaving sometimes only 2 employees to run the entire store, including food and register, which even for night shift usually isn't enough.
The bathrooms are usually super clean, they often have deals going, and their rewards program is super good.
I love sheetz, i love having them around, and they've been a good thing to have around.
I live 5 minutes walking, not even 2 minutes driving from a Sheetz in NC and I go there a lot after work for a couple beers and their chicken ranch wraps with hashbrowns on the side. Customer service at the location is also great!
Originally from Altoona, PA and so I grew up with Sheetz and I can assure you that the term "sheetz run" is an actual colloquialism. You go to a late movie and you want some real snacks and to talk about it... you do a Sheetz run and then in the late 00s when you could sit down and eat it was just such a chill spot.
Sheetz is absolutely a staple for us when we go on road trips here in SWPA. The food is great, the convenience store selection is really good and often includes harder to find items that meet dietary restrictions like Dole Whip, and notably has some of the cleanest restrooms you'll find almost anywhere in the States. Definitely recommend!
I practically lived on MTO in the early '90s when I worked nightshift. My folks retired to Western VA, and there was a Sheetz where I got off I66, I'd get their orders and great priced gas. LOVE the place
Sheetz is the model of how a company should be run. Their level of respect from employees and customers is rarely matched elsewhere in any industry. The fact that it’s privately owned is why they’re successful. No dumb shareholders to report to and they can plan long-term beyond the next quarter.
i work at a sheetz so to see you upload a video on it, it was very nice to see, i genuinely love my job and it pays really well, especially on night shift which is what i work
I love Sheetz food! So much to choose and so much that can be customized!
I'm in NC. Love sheetz. It's probably the best 24 hour gas station around me. It's clean and you can always get some food any time of night.
Texas fella here that went to college in Pittsburgh in the early 2000s and dare I say, I miss Sheetz and one of the places I STILL talk about to this day! (That and Eat N’ Park-sorry if I spelled it wrong, lol).
I remember seeing the touchscreens become more relevant now and I tell people, “I remember when…” Lol, This reads as old as I feel, but still pretty cool!
Now, I need to watch the video on WaWa, because I don’t think I saw one in my time there.
Wawa is an Eastern PA thing! Funny enough, i lived in Pa in the 80's & 90s, and had moved by 2000! I remember when Eat N Park had moved to our part of PA from Pburgh, like Dick's sporting Good's & Sheetz.
Seeing a Sheetz after a long road trip almost feels more like being home than pulling into your actual driveway
From experience: Sheetz is the best. I am a diehard backer of them! I go there exclusively for gas, food, drinks etc and have been for as long as I can remember. Their MTO system is amazing, and I know I can go there to get good food every time. Their rewards app is great, their workers are nice, and they never disappoint. I remember getting the wraps they sell in 2014, and I still get the same one to this day. They're just unbeatable, to the point I go there almost daily and I can't see going elsewhere. I love Sheetz and only hope that they continue to grow!
Sheetz was a life saver on a road trip to Hershey last Christmas
It makes my day that you're covering Sheetz. I've been a Sheetz customer for a long time. I got to see them slowly take over central PA in the 2000s and 2010s. Always liked going there. I go there at least twice a week for my gas and drinkz (It's infectious, I tell you). Them and Rutter's are big names here. Both of them have a solid hot food selection, but Sheetz is better known for it with their MTO have been out for a long time. (I had no idea it's been out since the 80s!). Royal Farms is another convenience store with food that seems to be up and coming around here. Their specialty is their fried chicken. I recommend Sheetz chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks. Oh, and their milkshakes. I walked an hour to and from in a blizzard just for their curly fries and milkshake.
The town near where I’m attending college has a Sheetz, and I love it. It has become the midnight snack option for almost every student on campus. I love how they offer so many types of fuel, from e85, their own e88, and regular gas. All at competitive prices as well!
Grew up in Harrisburg, PA. Sheetz was an institution and way of life after work or on the road. Love their food service and their in house products. Love em and miss them since I moved out to Minnesota, hope they get out my again eventually!
If you REALLY are from Harrisburg, you should remember Turkey Hill, which is from Lancaster Co! Sheetz moved in later The Sheetz on Forster street is the first one i can remember. So, Turkey Hill is the OG Harrisburg/Lancaster convenience store! LOL But I like Sheetz too, and they would be open all night, even when turkey hill would be closed.
@@inconnu4961 I used to work for Turkey Hill, so not a fan of them at all, were an awful company to work for, crap wages, awful even as a store manager. Sheetz respected my time and my wallet when I worked for them at a later time.
Really? Are Pennsylvania's that pathetic they argue over which restaurant is better? What's wrong with enjoying both?
Sheetz is awesome! They are clean, professional/polite, and their food is great!
Yea… Wawa is fantastic too!
I grew up in WV and lived in Pittsburgh, PA. Sheetz became a big part of my life and everytime I visit now, I go to Sheetz! I love too far away from one now but I still go to Sheetz whenever I can!
Am one of the lucky central Ohioans to have Sheetz come flooding into the area - fantastic gas station/store! Made-to-order food 24/7 with a pretty big variety, solid drink selection, manned and self checkouts, they really have cranked up the 'convenience' part of the convenience store for sure.
My wife, daughter, and I moved from western NY to Erie PA in 2014. A decade later we'll drive right past most places to go to Sheetz. Love the food, the atmosphere, and the friendly staff.
We live in NY afain, for now, but when we visit the kids in Cleveland, we always stop at Sheetz on the way out, or back.
Kind of jealous at the moment, as I'm typing this post op at Cleveland Clinic. Now I'm a double amputee, and each time my wife has come to see me, she stops at Sheetz.
And I'm eating hospital food.
Going home Monday. Forst stop will be to get 2 dogs, totz, and a diet dew.
Thank you for the video Kid. And for the smile pn my face. Been a hard week, and you helped make it a littoe better.
Sheetz is a staple here in Northeast Ohio. Love getting food there at any hour of the day.
Northeast Ohio here. Sheetz is hands-down my favorite gas station. Love the MTO setup. Always clean stores.
As a SW PA person I’m so happy you’re doing a sheetz video 😭😭😭
I lived in Pennsylvania for a while and Sheetz became a favorite almost immediately. Nothing compares, not even Wawa. I live in Florida now and Sheetz coming here would be a dream come true.
Sheetz was the local hangout spot for my friends and I. After high school, I would pop by with everyone to grab a bite to eat. My brother who is much younger does the same. They live around Pittsburgh and it is hard to imagine high school without them.
we have sheetz in part of NC. the customers are LOYAL. The bathrooms are generally clean, the people are friendly, the store is always stocked.
Pennsylvania born and raise. Im a Sheetz guy through and through. Been to both Wawa and Sheetz. Sheets is the best!!
I'm in the newly expanding area of Dayton, OH and this has me very intrigued. As a full-time DoorDasher, it's tough to eat good on the road with all the fast food joints here and I've been seeing the Sheetz stores opening but without much thought into looking, gonna have to try when I get my lunchbreak one day
I lived in Fairmont, West Virginia, the biggest town in the state. When a sheetz was being built, it was so exciting beccause of how little there was in the area.
Sheetz moved into my central PA town back in the mid 90s. It was nothing like any other convenience store in our area. We had a Turkey Hill for ages, but once Sheetz moved in, more people went there overall. They were a great spot for cheap pizzas back then and it helped fuel my high school's band during band camp on many occasions. They moved to the area I live in now in NEPA not long after I moved here, and have been my go-to place for gas and food.
Every trip back to Pittsburgh, I NEED to stop there! Steak Quesoritto for the win!!
I worked at Sheetz during the first half of college. It was insanely busy and stressful to a lot of the employees. Customers weren't always the most friendly, but it was a great place to work out. A lot of great people I've met have lived comfortably with good benefits from sheets.
I work with people in their corporate office regularly and can attest they are a great organization, and just some very stand up people :)
I've been employed with Sheetz for 7 years. Such a great company to work for ❤❤❤
I travel to the south from the northeast every few months. I ONLY STOP AT SHEETZ!!! The convience, fresh food even late at night and availability of their locations.
When I went to school in PA Sheetz was always a welcomed treat
I work at a store in Mercer Pa and they take such great care of us employees and love to promote from within and every executive and manager I’ve met started where everyone starts making food and cleaning the bathrooms. It’s a great culture here.
Sheetz has a huge space in my heart, oddly, because it was an oasis for when I used to travel with my band in college. We were based in Pittsburgh, and I always loved to pull up to one when we'd got to play a show. I've noticed it expanding and came to see if you'd covered it, and lo and behold, here it is! Thanks for the coverage! It's inspiring to hear they're such a good company.
Im working in Columbus and am seeing SHEETZ for the first time ...now I'm going to have to visit
A friend of mine was a fuel delivery driver for Sheetz. They are required to keep their trucks in great clean standards at all times. You won’t see a dirty Sheetz rig on the road.
With Sheetz being 247-365 they are always open, it’s a great place for me and my automotive friends to grab some food and utilize their outside eating tables at 1am. They literally have everything on the menu. They are social media active and always a friendly place.
The company I work for currently has fleet fueling through Sheetz.
It’s a very large part to our community in Pennsylvania. We love Wawa and we love Sheetz.
Can’t beat the 2 for $1.00 hot dogz even when the price goes up around us they stay the same.
Thank you company man for doing this episode. I hope it inspires someone to travel to one of our locations to try it out!
My wife and I have taken long drives to New England and have been amazed by the quality and cleanliness of Sheetz. They're our "go to" stops on our trip and never disappoint. Best convenience stores I've ever been and impressively consistent.
We dont have Sheetz in New England, my friend! Here we have Cumberland Farms (Cumby's). Which is a great place unto itself! So, I guess you meant traveling on your way to New England, while stopping in Pennsylvania. But for those hoping to see Sheetz here in New England, i know of NO place here that has Sheetz. But check out Cumby's, you will like it just as much!
Sheetz is great and as a longtime Pennsylvania resident, it definitely dominates other gas station convenience store chains. Except for Kwik Trip in Wisconsin. You should do a video on them!
NEPA here, Sheetz has become a vital part of my part of the state and is the reason why many of us are invested in the Wawa vs Sheetz Debate. I should also mention they probably have good growth cuz the pop up in places you least expect. Like one is literally 2 mins down the street from my home
I live in Minnesota and travel semiannually to North Carolina. Sheetz is always my last stop before catching a plane at RDU.
Had a couple Sheetz in State College, PA growing up and was a huge fan. Loved their hoagies, good cookies too. They started it before Wawa and Buccees. Didn't know that he actually changed his name to use the Z, that's funny. Good video as always.
I live in Missouri...i went to Charlottesville VA 19 years ago and Sheetz is what I remember most about the trip 😅
I have a friend who lives in Virginia who told me about this place. Sounds like a neat thing to have.
Sheetz is one of those consistent stores that are a beacon of hope when away from home while at the same time each location being just a little more unique then the last.
I love Sheetz, regularly use them for my fill ups. I use E88 and often times they are the only location around me that carries it.
I have been working at Sheetz for about 2 years and it is the best experience of my life. They pay employees 20-75k to move locations to make sure there new stores are successful. They pay high level management six figures which is achievable to every employee. I highly recommend the company and I’m guessing we will be growing very quickly. If anyone has any questions about the company, let me know.
Central Pa girl. I go to sheetz at least once week. Besides food and gas, the free air for tires is nice. I didn't realized that other gas stations charged until I was out of state.
Sheetz, Wawa, Royal Farms - they are all in competition but they each have their own sweet spots. I frequent all 3.
Quick Chek too!
Very fond memories of late night Sheetz runs! Alway have to get the fried macaroni and cheese bites! Im in Texas now and it hurts me to be so far away... But i still carry Sheetz on my key ring
I'm a freak in the Sheetz! Been waiting for this video to drop for years. Thank you, Company Man!
Stopped there on a trip from Michigan to Philadelphia. Their donuts were the absolute best way to wake up on a freezing cold morning.
A Sheetz is being built about 2 miles from where I live and I can't wait. I'll sign up for the fries subscription the day they open. I used to always stop in at the West Virginia location on my way back and fourth to Pittsburgh from central Ohio.
Ohhh Scotty doesn't knowwww! Don't tell Scotty, cause Scotty doesn't know!
definitely more of a Sheetz guy, love the MTO food, it's been a favorite of mine since moving to NC
I really appreciate your videos!! I’ve always considered myself a student of business, and I enjoy your perspective! Thanks for your efforts!!
Super exciting watch from PA :) Never realized I'd never ordered from Sheetz without a touch screen for as long as I can remember. They were also way ahead of the curve when it came to mobile ordering and rewards systems too. Where I'm from in suburban eastern PA, they're always packed and they're one of three PA chains I'll fuel from. They even knock down the price of standard fuel for holidays and even just because when prices start soaring- out of their own pockets which I think is super cool. Never knew they fought against PA liquor laws either, which are super weird. Sheetz is the best place to grab anything past 11PM here, when liquor sales are prohibited generally everywhere else. The food is up to par with competing chains and you can still get combos for suuuper cheap if you need. Sheetz>Wawa
I live 30 minutes from all sheetz locations in VA and I need one closer to me cause I love their curly fries and milkshakes!
I used to drive trucks, i live in California always looked to find Sheetz, miss them.
We just got one in Dayton Ohio. Opened this week, can't wait to check it out!
I love sheetz!!! I spent a few years travelling the country , anytime we went through PA we stopped at sheetz! Finding one with truck parking was top teir!
Sheetz definitely needs to expand out everywhere in the U.S and Globally. The have the potential and the ability to do so. They’re very good.
Don’t live in a state with Sheetz, but I stop at one every time I travel through one. Top tier
I've lived in Pittsburgh my whole life, and Sheetz is part of the culture. There are usually multiple locations in or near every town in the area, and they're constantly building more. They have a big menu and it's easily my go-to for fast food. I'd say one of the other big reasons they're growing fast is because they're open 24/7/365, unlike a lot of other stores and restaurants. Sheetz is also renovating a lot of stores to make them more restaurant-focused with drive throughs and larger dine-in areas.
Here are some random experiences I've had with Sheetz. I spent my highschool years in PA. We got a Sheetz back in the late 90s. One thing they did to attract new customers was give away free coffee for months after they first opened. It ended up becoming a local hangout spot for teens.
Sheetz also tends to have the cheapest gas around. I've always heard rumors that "Sheetz gas is bad" but it's nonsense. It's a loss-leader for them, but it definitely gets me in for some MTO (Made-to-order). Going into Sheetz is always a feel-good feeling for me, so I'll usually get at least a bag of chips. One does not simply get gas at Sheetz.
People would always say "I'm going to shitz" making fun of the similarity to how the name sounds. They fully embraced it, I've seen billboards that say "Get yo' Sheetz" or something to that effect.
Every time I go back to PA, I make sure to make a stop and get me some MTO . They're one of my favorite spots and have been since I first visited one all those years back.
BTW, Turkey Hill is another PA gas station / dairy shop you could do a video on.
I live in Virginia and I’m 20 minutes from Sheetz and an hour from WaWa. I love both. All my town has is 7-11. Even though it’s owned by a friend, I’d love a Sheetz. Or WaWa.
Somthing about this man’s videos always makes me feel nostalgic, even though I have no clue about these companies
I used to live in western PA, Sheetz is one of my favorite place, especially after couple drinks at bar. Now I moved to Canada for school, I really hope Sheetz open up some shops up here
There’s a Sheetz less than 5 miles from me and I had no idea the company even existed until your video. I’m going to check them out, thanks!
I have not had Wawa's yet but I went to Sheetz when I visited my brother. I have never in my life said I'm willing to walk 15 minutes one way to get a cup of coffee in the morning till I had Sheetz coffee. Employees were beyond friendly and could tell I wasn't from there. One of them even helped out with what I wanted and what I was looking for.
I remember when Sheetz entered my local market about 20-25 years ago. The first location I was aware of put the two gas station/convenience stores that were within a block of their location out of business within a year. Which is fair. Sheetz brought the competition and those stores simply could not compete. Sheetz are one of the few businesses to stay 24/7 since the lockdowns and, being a day sleeper, I appreciate that.
We encountered Sheetz a little over 10 years ago. Loved it. I hope I have one in my neighborhood someday.
seeing the best companies to work for, maybe a video on the grocery chain thats been #1 or very close to 1 for 10+ years.

Previously worked at Sheetz as a night shift employee then a supervisor in 2020 - 2022! They just seem to hire sociable employees I’ve worked at places where everyone kinda minds their own business and goes home but Sheetz seems to hire people that like to chat and talk. I’ve heard horror stories from different stores about crappy employees, or employees who squabble, I myself was present for the firing of a few employees for work place disputes but I think all and all it’s a pretty friendly group!
