Sheetz Announces 4 New And Approved Metro Detroit Spots: Here's Where

METRO DETROIT — Sheetz, a popular mid-Atlantic restaurant, gas station and convenience chain, announced four new and approved locations in the metro Detroit area Wednesday.

The four new stores will open at:

• Farmington Hills, 29455 Grand River Avenue
• Macomb, 45075 North Gratiot Avenue
• Novi, 39471 West 12 Mile Road
• Warren, 5970 12 Mile Road

The four new locations add to Sheetz's growing presence in the metro Detroit area. The chain now has 13 approved Detroit-area projects. The other nine projects include:

• Chesterfield Township, 23 Mile Road just east of Interstate 94
• Eastpointe, 19001 East 9 Mile Road
• Fraser, Southwest corner of 14 Mile and Utica roads
• Macomb, 45011 Garfield Road
• Romulus, 29225 Smith Road
• Taylor, 8200 Telegraph Road
• Taylor, 20623 Eureka Road
• Warren, 31925 Van Dyke Avenue
• Ypsilanti, 2103 West Michigan Avenue

The first Michigan Sheetz opened in Romulus last summer, roughly 4 miles from Metro Detroit airport.

Officials said Sheetz plans to start construction on these 13 locations later this year.

Sheetz is committed to opening between 50 and 60 locations across southeastern Michigan over the next five to six years, officials said.

"We’ve heard loud and clear there’s strong support for Sheetz across greater Detroit," said Travis Sheetz, President and CEO. "We look forward to working closely with neighboring municipalities who are excited to introduce our unique experience to their residents all while driving growth, attracting investment and creating good jobs for their communities."

Royal Oak officials are scheduled to hear a request to open a new Sheetz along 14 Mile Road next week.

While many metro Detroit communities have welcomed Sheetz, some have rejected site plans after residents voiced concerns about traffic, noise and light pollution.

Farmington Hills, Livonia and Rochester Hills are among some communities that have rejected a site location.

Sheetz is best known for its award-winning Made-to-Order menu, which allows local residents, or "Sheetz Freakz" to order any of Sheetz’s customized drinks or food items around the clock.
