Sheetz Continues West Virginia Blitz

ALTOONA, Pa. -- Sheetz Inc. is carrying out a plan to rapidly develop a new market in southern West Virginia with the opening of another store at 432 18th St. West in Huntington. This is the third opening in that area since June; the first two being in nearby Barboursville and Milton.

"We can't be more pleased with how well received our stores have been this summer," Stan Sheetz, president and CEO of the Altoona, Pa.-based convenience chain, said in a statement. "Customers are excited and enjoying what we offer, and we've been fortunate to have hired some great West Virginians who work hard and really make a difference for us."

Doors at the new store officially opened yesterday morning and employees hosted a grand opening celebration with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the afternoon. As part of the celebration, Sheetz will make a donation to the Boys and Girls Club of Huntington.

The new 5,000-square-foot facility offers fresh food items, including the MTGo! and Shweetz Bakery lines of sandwiches, wraps, doughnuts and muffins, along with the retailer’s signature MTO line of Angus beef burgers, premium grilled chicken sandwiches, freshly made salads, French fries, onion rings and more.

Sheetz Bros. Coffeez, a full-service espresso and smoothie bar staffed by a trained barista, is available at the new store as well. Customers can order hand-made specialty coffee drinks including lattes, cappuccinos and mochas—hot, frozen or iced. Sheetz also offers premium brewed self-serve coffees made from 100 percent Arabica beans in a variety of flavors, such as Breakfast Blend, Serious Dark Roast, 100 percent Colombian and Hazelnut.

"Sheetz has a legacy of innovation, customer focus and employee development," Sheetz said. "The company's mission today is on meeting the needs of customers on the go by providing fast and friendly service, quality products in clean and convenient locations."
