PITTSBURGH, PA — Altoona-based Sheetz performed well in the American Customer Satisfaction Index's first-ever Convenience Store Study 2024, but cross-state rival Wawa was crowned the nation's leading convenience store.

"If you’ve ever been part of a Wawa versus Sheetz debate, then you know how seriously folks defend their favorite hometown convenience store," a news release on the study stated.
