Meanwhile, a Columbus-area limited liability company, Beavercreek Eastside LLC, purchased 2.6 acres of commercially zoned land at 4215 Col. Glenn Highway for $1.9 million on March 25, according to Greene County property records.
That land is where Pennsylvania-based Sheetz wants to build a roughly 6,100-square-foot location, across from the Dave Dennis auto dealership. The project is being managed by Columbus-based developer Skilken Gold.
Elsewhere in the Dayton area, the first four Sheetz locations have opened. They are: 550 Old Troy Pike, in Huber Heights (which opened Aug. 29, 2023); 4700 S. Charleston Pike in Springfield (which opened Sept. 30 last year); 3250 Benchwood Road Vandalia (which opened Feb. 20, 2024); and 781 E. Xenia Drive in Fairborn.
The Fairborn site hosted a grand opening event on March 4, said Cherise Schell, Fairborn’s economic development director.
Sheetz also has multiple sites under agreement and is working through the approval process on them.
In response to questions from the Dayton Daily News, Sheetz said it has four other Dayton-area locations under construction. These sites are in Huber Heights (which is tentatively slated to open in June); Franklin and Washington Township (both tentatively set for August openings); and Beavercreek (another location will tentatively open in September).
Sheetz is working through the permitting phase to finalize construction plans for its second Beavercreek location, said Katy Carrico, a spokeswoman for the city of Beavercreek. Preliminary groundwork has been conducted in anticipation of starting construction soon, she said.
In Centerville, there has been a legal battle over a possible Sheetz site there.
The city of Centerville, Epiphany Lutheran Church and Bethany Village are being sued by the owners of the Elsa’s restaurant chain, Sheetz and Morse Road Development LLC, who hope to construct a 6,139-square-foot Sheetz store at 6318 Far Hills Ave., where Elsa’s has operated for 42 years.
Sheetz said it will donate $2,500 to The Foodbank, Inc. and another $2,500 to the Shared Harvest Foodbank. Customers attending the openings in Beavercreek today and in Springboro April 17 are encouraged to donate a non-perishable food item to each nonprofit. Those who donate will receive a Sheetz branded thermal bag, limit one per customer while supplies last from 9 to 11 a.m.
