Sheetz Goes on Offensive with Plan to Open Store Across from Wawa in Chester County

[Midnighter]

Sheetz copied touch screen from Arby's.

Talking about the CS industry; Microsoft took GUI from Xerox. I never saw a touch screen at Arby’s but remember MTO screens in 1993. Wawa added them in 2002. Before Sheetz the CS space was a place to get cigarettes and a coffee with your gas. Maybe a hot dog. Except in Japan - you can get every damn thing there including service with a smile…

Right, everyone copies from others. I'm sure there are things Sheetz copied from Wawa.

I think you are taking this whole thing a little too seriously.

LOL. This is an old topic that has been discussed to death for years. Sheetz introduced MTOs and screen ordering years before Wawa did the same. They invented ‘destination’ super gas stations and bailed on stores without gas. They’re massive innovators in the CS space - Wawa not so much. Now, ignore for you.

Shorti > MTO.

Think I’m the lone Sheetz defender - too many NEPA guys here!

I loved the MTO at 2am in college. The last time I got an MTO though, I thought it was disgusting.

Wawa originated in SEPA from Wawa Dairy in 1902. There’s a Wawa “university” in Media, PA.

Wife is Bucks Co and my favorite thing there is ‘Street Road’.

Street Road sucks. Too many traffic lights.

Did they copy the wet brown paper bag thing Arby’s claim is roast beef too?

Toyota? Honda? Just curious?

My 2004 5-speed Accord is at 254k.
Like sleepy, I just use the closest -and probably cheapest - gas when it’s thirsty.

Honda and Toyotas seem to be indestructible…at least mechanically.

My mechanic son agrees. Their electrical systems not so much.....

Thanks GG. Now I want a freakin' Beef N Cheddar.

Just to be on the record, I am in no way advocating Arbys! Fill that urge with a nice cheesesteak.

A good Arby's (1 in 3 chance) is like a good Whopper (1 in 5 chance) - don't argue. Just eat it.

 

[Bwifan]

This is going to be fun to watch.

Also hearing one is also proposed in Limerick, PA in Montgomery County across from a WaWa

They usually get a blessing from each others families when opening a Wawa near Sheetz and vice versa. Since they sit on each others boards they play nice in the sandbox

I'm not sure about those odds. I'd go +525 for Arbys and +250 for the whopper.

 

[Nitt1300]

Either could have great success in the southern tier of NY- the competition here is pathetic

Try Arby's Crispy Fish Sandwich. It's good!

WaWa much better.
