At Sheetz, Gas Is Secondary To Food Sales

Gasoline may bring them in the door, but everything about a Sheetz store is geared toward filling customers’ bellies after they top off their tanks.

“We look at ourselves as primarily a purveyor of food,” Stan Sheetz, chairman of Altoona-based gas-and-convenience store chain Sheetz Inc., said this month during a tour of one of his company’s stores in Blairsville.

Sheetz, who was CEO from 1995 until October and oversaw growth from 195 stores when he took the helm to more than 460 today, waved a hand across the expanse of the store, pointing to shelves stocked with snacks, coolers full of drinks, and the kitchen where workers prepare made-to-order sandwiches, coffee drinks and other food.

Nearly everything sold inside a Sheetz store can be consumed within minutes of walking out the door.

“This weekend is going to be a blast.  The next 2 weeks are going to be very hectic as well.  We are rolling out our new menu.  Lots of new stuff on there.  We’ll have ribs, a bunch of different apps, a few new salads, and we’re putting baked potatos on the menu.  Make sure you stop in to check it out…”

So stop in and say “howdy” to Dave and his staff at the Brick House for some Halloween fun and to check out the new menu!
