Retailer Sheetz to open Technology & Innovation Hub
The new hub will develop, test and implement “transformative products and services”, according to Sheetz.
The convenience store operator Sheetz announced that it is establishing a technology and innovation hub in Pittsburgh, United States, to focus on developing, testing and implementing what the company calls "transformative products and services," according to KDKA.com.
"Our mission at Sheetz is to create a business that puts the Sheetz as we know it today, out of business," Emily Sheetz, Sheetz's assistant vice president of strategy, said in a press release.
"This hub is an investment in the future and will give Sheetz a unique opportunity to access developers and other talent in Pittsburgh," she added.
Reports suggest that Sheetz selected Pittsburgh due to its growing reputation as a start-up hub. Sheetz hopes to revolutionize what the "convenience" part of their future locations will look like.
Altoona-based Sheetz operates more than 580 store locations throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio and North Carolina.
