Sheetz Makes Push to Hire Nearly 3,000 Team Members

ALTOONA, Pa. — Sheetz is looking to bolster its employee count.

The convenience store retailer hosted a hiring day on March 31 for full-time and part-time positions at all of its 619 store locations. In all, Sheetz plans to hire more than 2,800 new employees — including nearly 1,200 in its home state of Pennsylvania.
