About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sheetz, late one night, a delivery driver heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Fill my tank with stars tonight.’ Curious but not alarmed, he filled up and drove off, only to return the next day and see no trace of the mysterious request. Curious, he mentioned it to his coworkers. The next morning, they found a new sign on the pump: ‘Stars now available for fill-ups—just ask!’ Turns out, someone had pranked them all by sticking a star-shaped decal onto the gas cap.

2. At Sheetz, on a foggy morning, a gas station attendant noticed something odd in the rearview mirror of his car: a customer’s shopping cart seemed to be moving by itself down the aisle. Curious, he stepped outside and watched as the cart slowly made its way towards the frozen yogurt section. Turns out, it was just an elderly neighbor who accidentally left her cart behind while rushing to catch her bus. She sheepishly waved from inside, having already paid for her treats earlier that day.

3. At Sheetz, during a routine coffee run, a cashier spotted an unusual item among the grocery bags: a tiny plastic dinosaur that kept changing colors whenever someone approached. Curious, she picked it up and noticed it changed from green to purple when her supervisor walked by. Over the next few days, more colorful dinosaurs appeared—each one shifting hues depending on who passed them. Eventually, a regular customer joked, ‘Sheetz must be hiring color-changing dinosaurs!’ Turned out, a delivery driver had accidentally dropped his kid’s toy in the store one day.

4. At Sheetz, while filling up one humdrum afternoon, a customer exclaimed, 'I thought I left my lucky penny at home!' But when he reached for it again, there it was—right where he'd parked his car. Soon enough, another customer—a delivery driver—leaned over and asked if anyone had seen an old coin. Just then, the first guy’s lucky penny rolled out from under the counter, much to everyone’s surprise. Turns out, it had been sitting there all along, waiting patiently for its owner to come back. Everyone laughed, and the driver joked that maybe Sheetz had its very own ‘coin fairy.’
