ALTOONA, Pa. – Sheetz has named Adam Sheetz president and chief operating officer, effective January 1, 2027, as the family-owned convenience store chain continues expanding across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.
Sheetz currently serves as executive vice president of operations. In his new role, he will oversee day-to-day operations, strengthen operational execution, and drive performance across the company’s growing store network.
He is a grandson of company founder Bob Sheetz and represents the third generation of family leadership at the Altoona-based retailer. He was appointed vice president of operations in 2018, the same year Travis Sheetz became the company’s first president and COO.
Travis Sheetz became president and CEO in January 2022, succeeding his brother, Joe Sheetz, who now serves as chairman of the board.

The leadership appointment comes as Sheetz accelerates its growth strategy. The retailer operates more than 850 convenience stores in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, and Michigan, with plans to reach 1,000 locations by 2028.
Earlier this year, Sheetz announced plans to enter Indiana, targeting 100 stores over the next decade with an investment approaching $1 billion. The expansion is expected to create more than 3,000 jobs, and the first Indianapolis-area locations are scheduled to open in 2027.

The company has also invested in infrastructure to support its growing footprint. In September, Sheetz opened a $169 million food preparation and distribution center in Findlay, Ohio, to serve existing stores and support further expansion across the Midwest.
Founded in 1952, Sheetz has built its business around made-to-order foodservice, fuel, and convenience retailing. The company will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2027 as it continues to invest in new markets, foodservice innovation, and store operations.
