Exciting Expansion for Sheetz in Metro Detroit!
Metro Detroit’s landscape is about to get a lot more interesting as Sheetz, the beloved convenience store chain, announces plans to open four new locations in the area! That’s right, folks – starting soon, you’ll have even more opportunities to grab your favorite snack, fuel up your car, or enjoy a quick bite to eat at Sheetz.
Where Are the New Stores?
So, where exactly will these new Sheetz locations pop up? The proposed store sites include:
- 29455 Grand River Avenue, Farmington Hills
- 39471 W. 12 Mile Road, Novi
- 45075 North Gratiot Avenue, Macomb Township
- 5970 12 Mile, Warren
Once these stores open, the total number of Sheetz stores in Michigan will rise to an impressive 13 since the chain first set foot in the state with its debut location in Romulus back in August.
Why Sheetz?
Travis Sheetz, the company president and CEO, has noted strong support for their presence in greater Detroit. From the moment they opened in Romulus, residents welcomed Sheetz with arms wide open, and it’s easy to see why! These stores offer indoor and outdoor dining options, drive-thrus, and even electric vehicle chargers!
But that’s not all – the menu! Sheetz has become famous for its award-winning selection of made-to-order food, catering to a range of cravings that will surely resonate with local residents, lovingly referred to as “Sheetz Freakz.”
Going Forward
It’s not just about opening new stores – Sheetz is dedicated to working closely with nearby municipalities to introduce their innovative services while simultaneously driving growth and creating jobs. Recently, Highland Township even approved a Sheetz location at M-59 and Milford Road.
However, it hasn’t been smooth sailing everywhere. Some proposed locations, like those in Livonia, Fraser, and Eastpointe, saw opposition due to concerns over noise, size, and competition with existing gas stations. In Farmington Hills, the city council did approve the Grand River location but denied plans for a site at Middlebelt and 12 Mile roads. Conversely, Novi’s preliminary site plan got a unanimous thumbs-up, which involves demolishing the current BP gas station to make way for Sheetz!
Long-term Plans
Looking ahead, Sheetz is planning even bigger things for the region. They aim to establish between 50 and 60 locations in Southeast Michigan over the next 5 to 6 years. Construction on these new stores will kick off later this year and continue into 2026. Talk about long-term commitment!
In addition, Royal Oak officials are gearing up to review yet another request for a Sheetz location along 14 Mile Road. It’s clear that many communities in Metro Detroit are welcoming the convenience giant with open arms, while others weigh concerns over traffic and pollution.
A Fresh Take on Convenience
With 760 convenience stores operating 24/7 across seven states, Sheetz is all about making life easier for customers and providing a unique, quality experience. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick coffee in the morning or grabbing a late-night snack, these new openings are definitely something to look forward to. The excitement is palpable in the air as Metro Detroit gets ready for a Sheetz invasion!
