Popular Gas Station Opening Its 1st Anne Arundel County Location

LINTHICUM HEIGHTS, MD — Sheetz is opening its first gas station in Anne Arundel County on Thursday, continuing the chain's expansion throughout Central Maryland.

The Linthicum Heights gas station and convenience store, which offers made-to-order food, opens at 8 a.m. It will celebrate with a grand opening from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at 1441 W. Nursery Road. There will be giveaways throughout the event and a ribbon-cutting at 10:45 a.m.

"Sheetz is a customer-focused, all-in-one destination, that will deliver Anne Arundel County residents an unbeatable flavor-packed, restaurant-quality dining experience, with indoor and outdoor seating, robust grocery offerings, spotless touch-free restrooms, free Wi-Fi and air, and a menu of award-winning food—all under one roof," Sheetz Public Affairs Manager Nick Ruffner told Patch in a Wednesday statement.

The newest Sheetz is located in the BWI Business District, five minutes away from the airport.

It will employ about 30 people, and the store will span around 5,000 square feet.

"With well-received Sheetz stores in neighboring Maryland counties, Anne Arundel County is a key location as the brand looks to grow its footprint in central Maryland," Ruffner said. "We truly believe our brand will resonate with the residents of Anne Arundel County and can't wait to become a positive force in this community."

For years, Sheetz's only stations in Maryland were out West. Ruffner called the first Anne Arundel County location a "significant milestone" in the company's Maryland growth. Sheetz now has nearly 40 stores statewide.

The chain debuted in Baltimore County and Prince George's County last year. Its first Montgomery County location opened in 2023.

"Sheetz has experienced steady growth across Maryland and remains committed to expanding its reach to meet the needs of future customers," Ruffner said. "Inspired by the continued enthusiasm and support from residents across the state, this strong community response fuels our drive to bring Sheetz's distinctive offerings to even more Marylanders."

Founded in 1952 in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Sheetz now has over 26,000 employees. The company has over 750 stores spread across Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan and Maryland. Every location is open 24/7, 365.

On opening day, Sheetz will have:

• Free self-serve coffee and soda for the entire grand opening day.
• Major giveaways, including $250 in Sheetz gift cards and Free Sheetz for a Year.
• A $2,500 donation and check presentation to the Maryland Food Bank as part of Sheetz's Made-to-Share program and the company’s mission to fight hunger in every community it serves.
• Sheetz Swag, including a branded thermal bag to those who donate a non-perishable food item to the Maryland Food Bank at the opening.
• A $2,500 donation and check presentation to Special Olympics of Maryland as part of Sheetz's 30+ year partnership with Special Olympics.
