Well-Known Gas Station Chain Opening Three More Metro Detroit Locations

METRO DETROIT — Sheetz on Thursday announced plans for three more metro Detroit locations.

The popular mid-Atlantic gas station chain was recently approved to open stores in:

• Orion Township (4160 South Lapeer Road in Lake Orion Township)
• Van Buren Township (7565 Haggerty Road)
• Shelby Township (48825 Van Dyke Ave.)

"Sheetz is proud to deepen our investment in Southeast Michigan with these new store locations, and we remain committed to being a great neighbor in every community we serve," Sheetz President and CEO Travis Sheetz said. "The overwhelming support we’ve received from communities, local leaders, and residents reinforces what makes the Detroit region so special."

The announcement comes just after Sheetz broke ground on new stores in Chesterfield Township and Romulus. It also comes after a beloved Warren bar and grill closed down last month to make way for the gas station.

Sheetz is on track to open 50-60 locations across southeast Michigan over the next five to six years. Crews are expected to start construction at several locations later this year and into 2026.

As of Thursday, here is a list of Sheetz locations that are open, under construction or fully approved to open:

• 33380 Wick Road, Romulus (Store open)
• 29225 Smith Road, Romulus (Construction underway)
• Chesterfield on 23 Mile Road (Construction underway)
• 8200 Telegraph Road, Taylor
• 20623 Eureka Road, Taylor
• 45011 Garfield Road, Macomb
• 28030 Gratiot Avenue, Roseville
• 31925 Van Dyke Avenue, Warren
• 19001 East 9 Mile Road, Eastpointe
• 2103 West Michigan Avenue, Ypsilanti
• Southwest corner of 14 Mile and Utica roads in Fraser
• 45075 North Gratiot Avenue, Macomb
• 5970 12 Mile Road, Warren
• 29455 Grand River Avenue, Farmington Hills
• 39471 West 12 Mile Road, Novi

Sheetz opened its first Michigan store roughly 4 miles from Metro Detroit airport last summer. The chain is best known for its award-winning Made-to-Order menu, which allows residents, or "Sheetz Freakz" to order any of Sheetz’s customized drinks or food items around the clock.

While many metro Detroit communities have welcomed Sheetz, some have rejected site plans after residents voiced concerns about traffic, noise and light pollution.

Farmington Hills, Livonia and Rochester Hills are among some communities that have rejected a site location.

In a recent op-ed in The Detroit News, Romulus Mayor Robert McCraight said Sheetz has been a great addition to the city.

"There have been unsubstantiated claims of crime, pollution and blight associated with the chain, spread by their competition. But we have witnessed the exact opposite on their site in Romulus," McCraight said. Their site is always clean, and their staff has always been great with customer service. And their management team has always been very responsive and continues to build their relationship with the city, even after they received their certificate of occupancy. That hasn’t always been the case with other stakeholders."
