Two more Sheetz locations planned for Macomb County

The first Metro Detroit Sheetz gas station and convenience store opened with much fanfare in Romulus in August.

Monday, the Altoona, Pennsylvania-based company announced additional locations are planned for 31925 Van Dyke in Warren; 19001 E. Nine Mile in Eastpointe, and 2103 W. Michigan Ave. in Ypsilanti.

Sheetz will begin hiring around 35 people for each of the newly announced stores soon. The company is listed in the Fortune 100 Best Places to Work list and in the Top 10 of the “Companies that Care” list from People magazine.

Previously Sheetz had announced it will also open two locations in Taylor, an additional station in Warren and others in Macomb and Chesterfield townships. Sheetz is also asking to build on a 3.83-acre parcel in Farmington Hills, but there are community members protesting the development, citing possible public safety issues.
