An exterior view of the new Sheetz location in Chesterfield Township, which opened in late September. GINA JOSEPH \u2013 THE MACOMB DAILY<\/p>\nFor the first time, Sheetz has begun building a store in Oakland County.<\/p>\n
The chain of 24-hour gas station\/restaurant\/convenience stores is locating on the site of a former gas station at 39471 W. 12 Mile Road at Haggerty Road in Novi. The new store will open next spring.<\/p>\n
Sheetz has opened several stores and is building new locations in Macomb and Wayne counties. The company, based in Pennsylvania, plans to open 50-60 stores in the Detroit area in the next five years.<\/p>\n
In Oakland County, Sheetz has several stores planned but has encountered opposition in several cities. Residents fear additional traffic and late-night noise, light pollution, loitering and crime. Business organizations say a large corporation like Sheetz could create unfair competition for family-owned gas stations.<\/p>\n
Residents did not object to the Novi location, nor to Sheetz\u2019 plan to open on the site of a long-vacant building at 4160 S. Lapeer Road in Orion Township.<\/p>\n
Township officials OK\u2019d the plan, but Sheetz has not begun construction.<\/p>\n
Sheetz also gained approval from Highland Township officials to open a location at 155 Highland Road, but construction hasn\u2019t begun.<\/p>\n
Over residents\u2019 objections, the Royal Oak City Commission approved a rezoning to allow a store on the site of a vacant manufacturing facility at 3200 W. 14 Mile Road, but Sheetz is awaiting a final vote from the commission to formally adopt the rezoning agreement.<\/p>\n
Sheetz proposed two locations in Farmington Hills. Amid strenuous objections from residents, the City Council rejected a plan to allow a store on the site of the former Ginopolis restaurant at 12 Mile and Middlebelt roads. Sheetz appealed the decision in Oakland County Circuit Court, but Judge Kwame Rowe has not issued a decision.<\/p>\n
The Farmington Hills Planning Commission approved Sheetz\u2019 plan to demolish a vacant auto repair shop at Grand River and Middlebelt roads, which did not generate opposition from residents. Sheetz is still working out the details with the city and the landlord.<\/p>\n
