Sheetz opens its first location in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, right across from Wawa
The rivalry between Wawa and Sheetz is heating up and coming to a head in Montgomery County.
The first-ever Sheetz opened in Limerick, Pennsylvania, at 454 West Ridge Pike on Feb. 12. Coincidentally, the Sheetz is right across the street from a Wawa.
"As Sheetz continues its expansion into communities near its existing footprint, we remain committed to being the best neighbor we can be and delivering the convenience, quality and service Pennsylvania communities have come to expect from us for more than 70 years," said Nick Ruffner with Sheetz in a statement.
Sheetz is celebrating the grand opening from 9-11 a.m. outside the Limerick Township store. Visitors will be treated to free coffee, free soda and giveaways, and Sheetz plans to present $2,500 checks to Philabundance and Special Olympics of Pennsylvania.
The close proximity of the Wawa and soon-to-be Sheetz is further fueling the age-old argument over which convenience store and gas station is better.
To add to the competition, the American Customer Satisfaction Index recently came out with new convenience store rankings. According to the study, neither Sheetz nor Wawa was on top. They were tied.
In fact, ACSI's 2025 study found that Kwik Trip leads the industry with a customer satisfaction score of 84. Sheetz and Wawa weren't far behind, tied for second place with a score of 82.
If you're interested in picking a side, the new Sheetz location in Limerick is currently hiring store team members, according to an online job posting.
