Sheetz & Goetze's Candy Launching Series of Seasonal Milkshakes

ALTOONA, Pa. — Sheetz Inc. inked a partnership with Goetze’s Candy Co. Inc. to launch a series of Cow Tales flavor-inspired Sheetz seasonal milkshakes.

Customers can enjoy the first two limited-edition milkshake collaborations, a Caramel and Cream Milkshake with Cow Tales Flavors and Strawberry Cream Milkshake with Cow Tales Flavors, at all 649 Sheetz locations located throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio and North Carolina.

"Collaborating with another beloved family-owned operation is the perfect partnership for Goetze's," said Mitchell Goetze, CEO of Goetze's Candy Co. "The opportunity to combine two highly respected brands, bringing together multiple generations of customers, is a treat for everyone. Not to mention, the milkshakes are delicious."

As the seasons change, so will the Cow Tales flavors offered at Sheetz locations. Caramel Apple Cow Tales will replace Strawberry Cream for the autumn season, and Caramel Brownie Cow Tales Flavors will ring in the new year, stated Goetze's. Original Caramel and Cream will remain on Sheetz's milkshake menu throughout the entire duration of the partnership.

"Get your sweet tooth ready because as spring rolls around we're dropping two new delicious milkshakes that will have our customers craving for more," said Ryan Sheetz, vice president, marketing and brand, Sheetz. "Our Caramel and Cream milkshake will feature the savory and nostalgic flavor of Goetze's caramel and cream, while our Strawberry Cream Milkshake will have customers wishing it was already summer. Partnering with a legendary brand like Goetze's was a no-brainer for us, and we can't wait for our customers to begin enjoying these sweet treats all year long."

The milkshakes are available for purchase at Sheetz stores at the Made-to-Order (MTO) kiosk or via the Sheetz app. Customers will receive a Cow Tales Mini with each milkshake purchase, while supplies last.
