Sheetz plans to open in Vanport Township
VANPORT TWP. ― Those weren't just shrumors: Sheetz intends to open one of its convenience stores in the township.
"Sheetz can confirm that it is planning to build a store along State Avenue, at the site of a former used car dealership and vehicle rental agency," Nick Ruffner, P.R. manager for Sheetz, said.
That proposed site would be at the former Enterprise car rental center and used car lot for Nick Crivelli Chevrolet, a mile from the Route 376 exit, in Vanport Township.
A target date for construction has not been announced. Permits would need to be approved by Vanport officials.
Vanport's township secretary said there are no official plans filed.
"At this time, it is too early in the process to provide further details," Ruffner said.
In other Beaver County Sheetz news, construction continues on the redesigned Sheetz in Baden that will include a drive-through window. Electricity was turned on inside the structure Wednesday evening, indicating progress. Sheetz initially announced a winter timeframe to reopen that popular Route 65 store, which was razed in July.
