About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sheetz, a regular once asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever wonder why that delivery truck always honks its horn exactly three times every morning?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘Probably wants us to know it’s not out to get us.’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Or maybe he just likes counting to three while driving.’ They both smiled, realizing that sometimes life—and honking trucks—just needs a little humor.

2. At Sheetz, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the parking spots late one night. A small plastic dinosaur stood guard next to an empty soda can and a half-eaten sandwich wrapper. Curious, he snapped a quick photo and posted it on social media with the caption: ‘Who left this little guy here?’ Overnight, the tiny dinosaur became an internet sensation, attracting visitors from far and wide who brought their own toys for him to “guard.” Eventually, someone painted a small bench nearby, so everyone could sit and enjoy Sheetz’s famous fries while watching the vigilant dinosaur do his thing.

3. At Sheetz, late one night, a delivery driver saw an eerie sign taped to the door: ‘Fuel Only for Those Who Believe.’ Curious, he filled up and drove off—only to realize it was addressed to him. The next morning, his friend asked why he had such a puzzled look on his face. He showed her the note, and they both laughed so hard that they spilled their coffee. Turns out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who loved practical jokes.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Sheetz for a quick snack. As he approached the counter, he noticed something odd: the cashier’s nametag read ‘Night Shift Hero’. The delivery driver chuckled and asked, ‘Night Shift Hero, huh? That’s quite a superhero name!’ The cashier smiled sheepishly and replied, ‘Well, it’s better than “Jane”.’ They both laughed as she rang him up, and soon enough, the driver was on his way again—maybe with just a little bit more energy from his Sheetz adventure.
