As of right now, you won't find a single Sheetz location anywhere in Michigan. However, that is about to change, as the popular convenience store chain is planning to open its first location this year. In fact, the first location broke ground just last month.

According to WDIV, Sheetz broke ground back in March at its future new home at 33380 Wick Road in Romulus. The first-ever Michigan location is expected to open in the latter part of 2024.

There are also plans to open a second location in Chesterfield Township on 23 Mile Road.
