Sheetz announces new president, CEO
Sheetz, a mid-Atlantic restaurant and convenience chain, named Travis Sheetz as the company’s president and CEO.
Travis Sheetz, the nephew of Sheetz founder Bob Sheetz, was previously Sheetz’s president and chief operating officer (COO), the first COO in the 69-year history of the company.
In his new role as executive vice chairman, previous CEO Joe Sheetz will continue to support CLI Transport, the dedicated petroleum carrier for Sheetz’s stores, as well as the company’s Board of Directors, finance and legal departments.
The move will become effective in the beginning of January 2022.
Travis started at Sheetz as a real estate site selector before spending time as a director in the company’s marketing department. Travis has continued to work his way up in the company, holding roles as Sheetz’s Vice President of Operations and Executive Vice President of Operations before being promoted to President & COO in 2018. He holds a Bachelor of Science in finance from Penn State University and an MBA from Vanderbilt University.
Sheetz, one of America’s fastest-growing family-owned and operated convenience store chains, was founded as a small family business in 1952 when Bob Sheetz purchased one of his father’s dairy stores in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The second Sheetz store opened in 1963 and today, after more than 65 years, the company serves more than 1.5 million customers a day in its 639 store locations across Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland.
