New customers welcomed with contests and prizes.
Sheetz opened a new store in Ephrata Township, Pa., Thursday, Dec. 22, at 9 a.m. The new location sits at 891 East Main Street.
Excitement for this store has been heightened with a contest for the first 50 people in line when the doors open. These lucky customers will win a $100 Sheetz Z-card – good for anything in the store. The buzz about Sheetz has gotten people out of bed to camp out at as early as 3:30 a.m. at stores recently opened in North Carolina, Ohio and West Virginia. Customers can play games to win prizes and enjoy samples of Sheetz food and beverages.
“People are lined up and waiting when we get to the store to cut the ribbon,” said Stan Sheetz, president and CEO Sheetz Inc. “We can’t wait to serve new customers and work to give them the best ever experience in our stores. We love to see them being as excited as we are to open.”
This store is the ninth in Lancaster County for Sheetz and is just over 5,500 square feet in size. Customers will be able to fuel their vehicles at 14 different gas pumps.
Sheetz continues to proudly support Special Olympics and will make a donation to Special Olympics Pennsylvania as part of the celebration. Sheetz has been a partner of Special Olympics since 1992, making monetary and product contributions as well as providing event volunteers.
The facility will offer fresh food items like the MTGo And Shweetz Bakery lines of sandwiches, wraps, donuts and muffins, along with the 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 going to be available at the new store. Customers can order hand-made specialty coffee drinks including lattes, cappuccinos and mochas – hot, frozen or iced.
“Sheetz has a legacy of innovation, customer focus and employee development,” Sheetz said. “The company’s mission today is meeting the needs of customers on the go by providing fast and friendly service, quality products in clean and convenient locations.”
Based Altoona, Pa., Sheetz operates more than 405 convenience locations throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina.
