Warsaw will be home to Duplin County’s first Sheetz store

Popular convenience store chain Sheetz is opening a new location in Duplin County, on NC Highway 24 in Warsaw, just off I-40. 

The convenience store is known not only for its fuel, beverages and snacks, but also made-to-order meal items like burgers, pizzas, chicken sandwiches, fries and breakfast sandwiches. The stores also feature espresso bars with made-to-order coffees. According to sheetz.com, the stores also have the lowest prices on tobacco and cigarettes that are allowed by law. 

The Warsaw Sheetz will be located at 2543 W NC 24 Hwy. Construction is well under way on the store, and town officials say it will be open in August. 

Each store employs about 30-35 people, according to Nick Ruffner, PR Manager for Sheetz, so the new store will help boost the local economy in more ways than one. 

Ruffner shared the following statement with the Duplin Journal: “Sheetz is planning to open a new store in Warsaw along Highway 24, which will be easily accessible from Interstate 40 using exit 364. The store will include a restaurant-style experience with self-service kiosks and seating both inside and outside the store. The store will also include 12 fuel terminals along with five lanes that will offer high flow diesel fuel and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) for semi-trucks.”

Sheetz is a family-owned convenience store chain based in Altoona, Pennsylvania, started by the Sheetz family in 1952. The Warsaw location will be Store #843.
