Well Sheetz lovers, I guess it is safe to say that the PA based company really likes all the attention that WVians give them because they hope to build 6 new stores per year in the Mountain State. The latest announcements for Sheetz include Ripley and a fourth one in the Beckley area. They claim to have contracts with several other locations along 77 and 79.

Sheetz hopes to add six stores per year in state* - Business - Charleston Daily Mail - West Virginia News and Sports -

With this being said, Kanawha County is still without a Sheetz because of the lack of develop-able land for their size needs. The companies spokesperson says that it is actively pursing locations in the county, but is having trouble. This is a bummer for local residents, but at least they are trying.

It seems as though Parkersburg will get one before Charleston, which is sad. If they are building 6 new stores, with one each in Beckley and Ripley, then I would venture to guess that the other four are Morgantown (downtown, unfortunately), Jane Lew or Flatwoods, Mineral Wells, and the Emerson Ave. or Williamstown exit.

I'm not really a fan of the new one in Beckley's location. It's right across RCB Dr. from downtown and backs up to a residential area.

Welcome to our plight up here in Morgantown. At least the one down in Beaver has a drive-thru.

It's crazy to think that they want to build that fast in the state. I'm very upset that they can't get anything going in Charleston when Morgantown will have 5 and Beckley will have four. Plus Putnam and Cabell County combined have 7 and one of them is right on the border of Kanawha County.

They have to find land with development potential, and I'm sure they also consider growth potential for a given area.

SHEETZ is pretty good but it still falls short of the WAWA chain

There is nothing special about Sheetz. It is just a gas station/convenience store. I wouldnt worry about not having a Sheetz.

While I don't think Sheetz stations are all that special, it will be nice to have them in Wood County just to give the Speedway monopoly some competition.
