HURRICANE -- Sheetz opened its fourth store in the Huntington area of West Virginia today with a location at 104 Route 19 in Hurricane. This finishes the first phase of development of a new market for the convenience store chain. Three other stores were opened this summer in Barboursville, Milton and Huntington.
"The opening of this store solidifies our presence in Southern West Virginia," said Stan Sheetz, president and CEO of Sheetz Inc., in a press release issued by the company. "The others stores that opened earlier this summer have been well received by people in this community. We hope to grow and become an important part of their daily lives."
The Hurricane store officially opened to customers this morning.
The 5,000 square-foot facility will offer fresh food items like the MTGo! and Shweetz Bakery lines of sandwiches, wraps, donuts and muffins, along with the signature MTO® line of Angus beef burgers, premium grilled chicken sandwiches, freshly made salads, French fries, onion rings and more. Sheetz Bros. Coffeez, a full-service espresso and smoothie bar staffed by a trained barista is going to be available at the new store.
