The successful c-store chain will open the stores in the Dayton area over the next five years.

Popular U.S. convenience store and gas station chain Sheetz will expand into western Ohio by opening 20 sites in the Dayton area over the next five years.

Sheetz officials said the company aims to open its first Dayton store in 2024. They said the local stores will offer Sheetz's "made-to-order" menu with customized specialty drinks and food items around the clock.

"We are thrilled to continue our growth in Ohio and bring the ultimate one-stop-shop to the residents of Dayton. Built on the values my Uncle Bob instilled when he founded Sheetz in 1952, we look forward to being a great employer and neighbor that is actively involved in the Dayton community,” said company CEO and President Travis Sheetz said in a press release.

Sheetz operates 56 locations in Ohio, with an overall store count of 647 across its six-state footprint, which includes Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland. In April 2021, Sheetz officially opened its first store in the Columbus market.

All locations are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
