Travis Sheetz will take over from Joe Sheetz starting next year after moving from his position as President and Chief Operating Officer.

Sheetz announced that it will have a new President and CEO starting next January. Travis Sheetz, nephew of the founder Bob Sheetz, will take over from his brother, Joe Sheetz, in 2022. Previous CEO will become Executive Vice Chairman and will continue to focus his efforts in supervising its Transport division of petroleum as well as the company’s board of directors, finance and legal departments.

”Over the past 69 years, Sheetz has grown dramatically from a small dairy store in Pennsylvania to one of the fastest-growing family-owned convenience retailers with more than 600 locations across six states.Through Travis’ leadership, I am confident Sheetz will continue to grow and innovate to not only meet the needs of customers on-the-go but give customers the next level of convenience they didn’t even know existed,” said Joe Sheetz in a press release published by the news site Penn Live.

Travis first started in the company as a real estate site selector before joining the marketing department as Director. He then moved up as Vice President of operations and Executive Vice President of operations before his tenure as President and COO.

”I am extremely humbled for the opportunity to carry out my Uncle’s mission for this company and ensure the family values he instilled when he founded Sheetz in 1952 continue in the future. I look forward to building on the success and innovation Sheetz exhibited during my brother’s time as CEO. Sheetz will continue to put our people first, bring innovation to our industry and fulfill our vision to create the business that will put the Sheetz as we know it today out of business,” concluded Travis.
