Sheetz is opening a new store in Conover, North Carolina, on Thursday, February 19. The location sits at 1505 Rock Barn Road NE, right off Exit 133 on I-40, making it a convenient in-and-out option for drivers moving freight through the area.

For truck drivers, the greatest detail is fuel access.

“Located conveniently off of I-40 from Exit 133, this new location will offer seven high-flow diesel fuel lanes for truck drivers, along with 12 fuel terminals for other vehicles,” Sheetz said. “When opened, this will be Sheetz’s fourth location in Catawba County.”

Seven high-flow diesel lanes mean quicker turns at the pump, especially during peak hours. If you’re running regional freight through Catawba County or staging nearby, this gives you another 24-hour fueling option along a busy corridor.

Grand Opening Set for February 19

The new Conover store officially opens to the public at 8 a.m. on February 19. A grand opening celebration will follow later that morning, beginning at 9 a.m., with a ribbon-cutting scheduled for 10:45 a.m.

During the opening day event, Sheetz plans to offer giveaways to attendees, including $250 in Sheetz gift cards and Free Sheetz for a Year. The company will also provide free self-serve coffee and soda throughout the grand opening day.

While many drivers won’t be able to hang around for the ceremony, it may be worth noting if you’re parked nearby or running a local load that morning.

Community Donations Highlight the Launch

As part of the opening celebration, Sheetz will make charitable contributions to two organizations in the region.

“Led by a mission to take care of people, Sheetz will present a special $2,500 donation to Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, a nonprofit that provides food assistance for 24 counties across North and South Carolina,” Sheetz said. “Customers attending the grand opening celebration are encouraged to donate a non-perishable food item to the nonprofit. Those who donate will receive ‘Sheetz Swag,’ limit one per customer while supplies last from 9-11 a.m.”

Sheetz will also present a $2,500 check to the Special Olympics of North Carolina at the event. The company has supported the Special Olympics for more than 30 years through volunteer efforts and financial contributions.

Another 24-Hour Option for Drivers

Sheetz operates more than 800 locations across Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, and Maryland. All stores operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

For truck drivers, the addition of another high-flow diesel location along I-40 adds flexibility for fueling, breaks, and quick food stops without leaving the interstate corridor for long.

If Conover is already part of your regular lane, this new stop at Exit 133 may soon become part of your rotation.
