9 Apr
Summary
- Sheetz plans to open 100 stores in Indiana over the next decade.
- The expansion includes a nearly $1 billion investment in the state.
- Over 3,000 long-term jobs are expected to be created in Indiana.
Sheetz is set to dramatically expand its footprint in Indiana, with ambitious plans to open 100 new stores across the state over the next decade. This significant move into the Midwest is accompanied by a substantial investment of nearly $1 billion. The expansion is expected to generate over 3,000 long-term employment opportunities for Indiana residents.
The convenience store chain announced that its initial locations in the greater Indianapolis area will open starting next year. This initiative follows Sheetz's recent expansion into Michigan in 2024 and its established presence in Ohio, where it has been operating for approximately 30 years and recently opened numerous new stores.
Sheetz President and CEO Travis Sheetz cited strong demand from Indiana residents and the positive reception in other new Midwest markets as key drivers for this expansion. The company aims to offer a comprehensive "everything they need in one stop" experience, create quality jobs, and contribute positively to the communities it serves.
Founded in Altoona in 1952, Sheetz has grown to operate over 830 stores across seven states. Its current reach extends as far south as North Carolina and as far west as Michigan, demonstrating a continued strategic growth trajectory.
