Rutter's convenience store chain to expand with stores in Philly area

Sheetz is going open one here in the Dayton, Ohio area. I would much rather have a WAWA.

I don't have a dog in the convenience store fight but thought this was funny. I'm assuming Wawa doesn't discriminate against poor dental health.
BAD TEETH? NO JOB FOR YOU!!

LOL, yea how "ironic" is that considering Sheetz started in Altoona.
@Tom McAndrew If the ones Rutters build in Philly are anything like that massive one on Rt 322 in Duncannon across from Sheetz, this is pretty good news.Rutter's convenience store chain to expand with stores in Philly area

Ditto. I swap off between Kroger (discount points for groceries) and Sheetz for my gas. Just wish they had real TastyKakes--around here all you can find are the ones they started making as Hostess imitations (fried pies not baked for example).
Hostess fruit pies were so awesome when I was a kid. Apple, blueberry. The best, Jerry! The best!
It’s a little known fact that the Manna from heaven mentioned in Exodus was actually TastyKake’s Jelly Filled Krimpets.
Is Sheetz still family owned? I guess Wawa feels it has successfully copied enough of Sheetz innovations to go head to head with them. And they have Mare.

On a related note, I had a standing argument with my son who is a '21 PSU grad as to if Sheetz was more of a restaurant or a gas station. I said gas station. He said restaurant.
On one of our trips taking him back to State College, he smugly pointed to a highway sign that listed "Food Next Exit ... Sheetz".
I hate him.

I work as an ad writer for Sheetz. Here's our next campaign...
"What do you get when you have 32 Wawa workers?"
"A full set of teeth."
This seems like as good a place as any for the following nonsense:
Here in NEW JERSEY. , we have QuickChek in addition to Wawa. My wife and I much prefer Wawa, but tonight, we decided to stop at QuickChek on the way home from a coffee shop () to grab dinner.
I navigate the touchscreen kiosk to place my order and feel like I’m losing it. Where are the meatball subs? So I ask the person making sammiches. “No. We stopped offering meatball subs about a year ago.” Obviously I don’t go to QuickChek often, but what kind of horse-a$$ is this? No meatball subs? For f*ck’s sake.
We went to Wawa. QuickChek sucks. They’re dead to me.

This is funny.
"The bottom line: I'd marry Wawa, date Royal Farms and ghost Sheetz."
When my niece was in high school in Gettysburg, someone asked her what was her favorite restaurant. She replied "Sheetz." Very discriminating taste!
That's funny.
I've never heard of any of these stores referred to as "restaurants". As much of a Wawa person as I am, that description would not come to mind even for them.
To me, it's the age old conundrum of "Which came first, the convenience store or the gas station?". Imo, all of Wawa, Sheetz, and Rutters and similar ilk are either 1. convenience stores with gas stations, or 2. gas stations with convenience stores. Restaurants? Even with Wawa's far superior coffee, food, and dairy, it's the stretch of all stretches to consider Wawa a restaurant.
Still a Sheetz man and proud of it. I got a hamburger at Wawa and it was actually a hairburger. No forgivenes. Was already dealing with a beach hangover. Didn't need too much to be pushed.
Interesting that you mention QT Stores. My youngest daughter works with their Corp Group in HR. Loves working with them….recruited her out of College.
Wawa reveals sites for first 16 stores in Indiana
The convenience store chain announced plans to build at least 60 stores in the Hoosier State over the next 10 years.

Wawa is building over 60 new stores in Ohio and starting in Cincinnati with several of them.
What's great about the expansion of Wawa into new territories is that it will also expand the usage of the term hoagie—the good and only proper term for the elongated sandwich.
