Sheetz Begins Construction on $169M Center in Ohio

ALTOONA, Pa. – Sheetz, a Mid-Atlantic restaurant and convenience chain, officially broke ground Wednesday on its $169 million food preparation and distribution center in Findlay, Ohio.

The center, projected to open in 2026, will support the company’s growth in Ohio and Michigan and create more than 700 jobs over the next five years, according to a news release. It will be the company’s third distribution center, joining facilities in Claysburg, Pennsylvania and Burlington, N.C.

“We are excited about the new jobs this facility will bring to Findlay and Hancock County,” said Travis Sheetz, president and CEO of Sheetz. “The support from local, county and state leaders has been instrumental in making this project a reality. As we continue expanding across Ohio and Michigan, Findlay will be a key driver of our growth and future success.”

Sheetz has more than 100 store locations in Ohio and is growing rapidly in Columbus, Dayton and, most recently, Toledo.

“I am thrilled to welcome Sheetz to Findlay,” Mayor Christina Muryn said. “Sheetz is a family-owned business with a commitment to community. I know with their unique benefits, strong wages and family-oriented mindset they will be a great community partner. I am also grateful for City Council’s support of this project as it shows a continued investment in our thriving local economy.”
