Sheetz to Open 100 Indiana Stores Over 10 Years, Investing Nearly $1 Billion

The first stores are planned for the Indianapolis area in 2027.

Overview

  • The family-owned chain announced Wednesday it will expand statewide, a plan expected to create more than 3,000 jobs.
  • The rollout starts in the greater Indianapolis area in 2027, with specific sites and opening dates to be announced.
  • Each new location typically hires 30 to 35 workers, and Sheetz touts health insurance, 12 weeks of paid maternity leave, a 401(k) and tuition help.
  • The Indiana push follows growth in Ohio and a 2024 move into Michigan, supported by a Findlay, Ohio, distribution center slated to open later this year.
  • Sheetz marked the announcement with a $25,000 gift to Special Olympics Indiana, reflecting an emphasis on local ties as hiring and permitting get underway.
