Sheetz unveils $169 million distribution center. Sep 30 2026 Operations & Marketing As its third distribution and food manufacturing facility, the site will support the company's ongoing Midwest expansion. Altoona, Pa.-based Sheetz has officially cut the ribbon on its $169 million food manufacturing and distribution center in Findlay, Ohio. The new facility, which officially begins operations on Oct. 11, will create more than 750 jobs over the next five years, according to a statement from the retailer. More than 200 people are currently employed at the facility. The opening of the facility comes as Sheetz continues to expand its presence across Ohio, where the company currently operates 140 stores and employs more than 4,000 people. With continued growth in Columbus, Dayton and Toledo, the Findlay facility will play an important role in supporting Sheetz's growing footprint across the state and the broader Midwest. "This morning marked a significant milestone for Sheetz as we celebrated the completion of this leading-edge facility, representing a $169 million investment in the Findlay community and creating hundreds of quality jobs for area residents," said Sheetz President and CEO Travis Sheetz. "This ribbon-cutting represents far more than an opening of a new facility - it marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our company in Ohio and the Midwest region. As we continue our ambitious growth across the state and region, this facility will help us serve more customers, create new opportunities for our communities and bring our all-in-one convenience experience to even more people." Sheetz presented a $10,000 donation to the West Ohio Food Bank at the event in recognition of Hunger Action Day, celebrated on Sept. 29. "We are incredibly proud to officially welcome Sheetz to Findlay," said Findlay Mayor Christina Muryn. "Projects of this scale don't happen without strong partnerships, a talented workforce and a community that is willing to work together to get things done. From the beginning, Sheetz has been a great partner, and we appreciate the confidence they have placed in Findlay and Hancock County. I'm excited to see their team become part of our community and to watch this investment be a catalyst for both Findlay and Sheetz." Sheetz's Findlay facility is the company's third distribution and food manufacturing facility, joining those already operating in Claysburg, Pa., and Burlington, N.C. Sheetz currently operates more than 850 locations across Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland.

Sheetz was also ranked second on Fortune's most recent Best Workplaces in Retail list.

Sheetz now open on site of razed Walgreens in Short Pump.

Sheetz now open on site of razed Walgreens in Short Pump. Convenience store and gas station chain Sheetz has opened a new location in Short Pump, further growing its local presence. (Courtesy Sheetz) Sheetz has added a new outpost in Short Pump to its growing local footprint. The Pennsylvania-based convenience store and gas station chain opened this week at 11500 W. Broad St. in western Henrico. The new 5,000-square-foot store has 12 pumps and was built according to the company's latest design that's intended to emphasize a "restaurant-style experience," according to a Sheetz spokeswoman. It features indoor and outdoor seating, mobile pick-up lanes and groceries in addition to its menu of pizza, salads, milkshakes and sandwiches. The store was built on the site formerly home to a Walgreens, which closed in early 2025 after more than a decade of operation at the corner of West Broad and Pouncey Tract. Prior to the Walgreens, there was a gas station and bank on the site, which were torn down ahead of the pharmacy's construction in the early 2010s. Walgreens sold the property in a $3.8 million deal that closed in June of last year to real estate firm Morgan Co., which developed the Sheetz and continues to own the site. Sheetz held a grand-opening event the new location on Thursday. The Short Pump Sheetz is the latest to open amid the company's recent drive to expand its local presence. Sheetz opened a store at 7520 Staples Mill Road in Henrico in April, which was followed by the June opening of a location at 6200 Iron Bridge Road in Chesterfield. The Sheetz spokeswoman declined to comment on the company's plans for future stores in the Richmond and Petersburg areas, where the company operates more than 20 locations, though there are at least two more in the works locally. A Sheetz is anticipated to be part of a mixed-use project pending zoning approval in Hanover, and the company has also indicated interest in a location in the Chester area. Sheetz says it has more than 850 stores in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan.
