The multi-million dollar expansion is part of Sheetz’s broader national growth strategy, which targets underserved regional markets with high demand for accessible, high-quality 24/7 retail and food service. Each new Sheetz location will employ between 30 and 35 full-time and part-time staff, translating to more than 3,200 new local jobs across Indiana once all stores are operational. The brand has also committed to investing a total of $700 million in real estate, construction, and local supply chain partnerships to support the rollout, with projected annual tax contributions of more than $25 million for state and local governments once the network is fully established. Sheetz is best known for its industry-leading made-to-order (MTO) food menu, which allows customers to customize burgers, sandwiches, salads, breakfast items, milkshakes, and specialty coffee drinks via in-store kiosks or mobile app for contactless pickup. All new Indiana locations will operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and will feature premium low-cost fuel, a wide selection of private-label snacks and beverages, spacious seating areas, and at least four high-speed electric vehicle charging stations to align with Indiana’s state goals for EV infrastructure expansion. Company leadership noted that Indiana was selected for the expansion after years of market research, citing the state’s business-friendly regulatory environment, steady population growth across major metro areas, and lack of convenience retailers offering a comparable mix of affordable, fresh food and accessible fuel. The first Indiana Sheetz location is scheduled to open in the Indianapolis metropolitan area in late 2025, with subsequent rollouts planned for Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend, and smaller mid-sized cities across the state. Industry analysts note that the launch will put Sheetz in direct competition with existing regional convenience chains, but the brand’s unique MTO offering and loyal customer base across neighboring states position it for strong success in the new market.
