I haven't been in this area in a long time, probably since I graduated from college nearby. If this would have been here when I was in college, I would have been a goner, I'm a sucker for Sheetz.
If I remember correctly this use to be a auto repair shop. I recall that because I took my car there once to get it fixed. I suppose that's not too far of a stretch to replace it with a gas station and convenience store. They picked a good location as this sits at the corner or what used to be a very busy intersection. Since they extended four lane portion of Route 40 I would assume a lot of the traffic just kind of bypasses this now.
I believe this was a much needed business in this area. There wasn't much selection if I recall correctly. The setup inside and out is your typical setup for a Sheetz. Enough pumps to handle a rush, enough touchscreens inside to handle a rush as well.
The one added bonus of this location, if you can call it that, is that they have three PNC ATMs located behind the building for banking business. I'm guessing that was part of the stipulation for building the property. Not only did it take up the garage business, but a PNC branch office as well. read more
