Sheetz Opens New Metro Detroit Store: What to Know

FRASER, MI – Sheetz, a popular Mid-Atlantic restaurant and gas station chain, announced plans to open a new metro Detroit store.

The new store will open on the southwest corner of 14 Mile and Utica roads in Fraser. The announcement comes after Fraser City Council approved the plan.

“We are grateful for the lively and passionate dialogue at last night’s meeting as well as the opportunity to work with local officials and residents to demonstrate that we belong in their communities,” said Sheetz Regional Director of Real Estate Justin Mandel. “We look forward to supporting Fraser through meaningful job creation, food bank donations, partnerships with local organizations and more.”

Officials did not say exactly when the Fraser store will open, but the announcement comes as the chain plans to open between 50-60 stores in the Detroit area in the next five to six years.

The Pennsylvania-based company recently announced that new stores will open at 31925 Van Dyke in Warren, 19001 E. Nine Mile in Eastpointe and 2103 W. Michigan Ave. in Ypsilanti.

Other stores are expected to open in Chesterfield, Macomb, Warren and two locations in Taylor.

The company has not announced an exact opening date for any of the planned stores.

Michigan’s first Sheetz opened in Romulus in August at 33380 Wick Rd.

Sheetz is best known for its award-winning a la carte menu, which allows local residents or “Sheetz Freakz” to order any of Sheetz’s customized drinks or food items around the clock.

Sheetz operates 669 store locations in six states, including Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland. All Sheetz locations are open 24/7, 365 days a year.
