Sheetz has opened its second Oakland County location as the Pennsylvania-based gas station-convenience store company continues its expansion in\u00a0 Michigan.<\/p>\n
Orion Township Supervisor Chris Barnett, Township Clerk Julia Dalrymple, other township officials, and representatives from Congresswoman Lisa McClain\u2019s office, joined Sheetz leadership, including Travis Sheetz, President and CEO, to celebrate the occasion.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been incredible to see how many communities across Michigan have welcomed Sheetz with open arms, and Orion Township is no exception,\u201d said Nick Ruffner, public affairs manager for Sheetz. \u201cWith every new store, we feel more and more like part of the state, not just a business operating here. We\u2019re grateful for the warm welcome and can\u2019t wait to serve our new neighbors in Orion Township.\u201d<\/p>\n
In honor of the grand opening, Sheetz made a $2,500 donation to both Forgotten Harvest and Special Olympics Michigan and customers who donated non-perishable food items at the event received Sheetz branded thermal bags, with all donations benefiting a local food bank.<\/p>\n
The new location at 4060 S. Lapeer Road is a 6,139-square-foot gas station-convenience store with a drive-through restaurant on a 1.9-acre site.<\/p>\n
The new Orion Township spot joins the Novi location, which was the first in Oakland County. There are\u00a0 now 11 stores across the Detroit area.<\/p>\n
Sheetz is planning to open nearly a dozen more stores across the region in 2026. Overall, they see between 50 and 60 stores opening in Michigan over the next five to six years.<\/p>\n
Sheetz operates over 800 locations across the country with all locations open 24\/7, 365 days a year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sheetz has opened its second Oakland County location as the Pennsylvania-based gas station-convenience store company continues its expansion…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":398470,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[387,181,23,100,143,145,144,13447],"class_list":["post-398469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-business","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news","tag-sheetz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=398469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398469\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/398470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=398469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=398469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=398469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
