Sheetz is not giving up yet it planning to make more of their Truck Stop Gas Stations all over Michigan.

I will say to them ' Not in my neighborhood.'

Sheetz has selected some terrible locations in communities that would have otherwise welcomed them with open arms. Whomever is doing their site selection work should be fired.

Thank you, Livonia and Farmington Hills, City Council for saving your city from those corporate yahoos that tried to compete against Conoco-Phillips.

Corporate family yahoo is Sheetz is worried that we don't conquer Michigan by putting up our gas stations in their towns, Conoco-Phillips will.

The Coney Wars are on. It is amusing to watch the next door rival exploit a hot news story. Watch out for a retaliation rat tail showing up in an American coney?

"The owner of one of Detroit's best known side-by-side - and rival - coney island hot dog shops called a news conference and forcefully expressed her concerns with a rodent problem in her next-door neighbor's eatery.

“I'm pissed,” Grace Keros said Monday morning inside American Coney Island at 114 W. Lafayette Blvd., at times sparring with reporters. She wanted folks to know for those who might not - her shop and Lafayette Coney Island are “totally different.”

Mr. Boileau,

What's this is got to do with Sheetz? Are the Coneys are better clean and rat free then American Coney Island and Lafayette's? As for right now the owner of A.C.I. is MAD! that her rival Coney Island next door is loaded with rat turds. And it puts Detroiters and Suburbanites in the mindset of what the news media is saying about the tale of two Coney Island Restaurants. My Coneys are better than your Coneys because your I make mine Coneys out of beef not, rat turds like the one next door.

You're in-correct on the location in Farmington Hills that was voted down. It was at 12 Mile and Middlebelt where the old Ginopolis restaurant was at.

Never have seen a Sheetz but down in FL, they're opening Wawa's all over the place. I think that is a similar business model to Sheetz. Wawa actually has pretty decent food. It's a definite cut above the average gas station fare they have around here.

**56packman** · February-03-25, 09:33 AM

I go to Sheetz on my annual trip to Pennsylvania. They are great. Great food, made to order, good prices on gas, very clean large bathrooms. The gas station scene is owned by a cabal that doesn't want any competition, and are fueling these anti-Sheetz efforts. They don't want any competition for their tiny, filthy, lame stations.

Highland TWP board may approve a Sheetz location in M-59 and Milford Rd.

That's fine by me.

City of Warren has approved a Sheetz Truck Stop location on 12 Mile Rd and Mound Rd. But will lose Victory Bar and Grill and the Auto Mechanic Shop will close. 12 Mile Rd. and Mound Rd.

AFAIK Victory Bar and Grill were there since WW2 as watering hole for the Arsenal.

Encourage more truck traffic on Mound Road. Then they'll act all surprised when the new road they just built is a crumbling mess in 15 years.

Yeah, Sisyphus Construction fixes a span, then it's time to start again. It's steady, honest work for organized crime.

Fix the same roads over and over again. That's the Michigan mantra...

I suppose tank treads would be out of the question.

It'll take less time than that.

Waterford TWP. and Madison Heights City Council say OH HELL NO to Sheetz.

Macomb TWP. say yes to Sheetz. It will be on Hall M-59 'Stroad.'

A Proposed Sheetz location will be a 14 Mile Rd and Coolidge HWY in Royal Oak. That will be very dangerous area for traffic congestions. I hope Royal Oak City Council will say NO NO NO!!!

Sheetz Truck Stop Gas Stations should be out in rural areas next to freeways. Not in our neighborhoods.

In a few more days, bribes will be legalized. The sheeple will be Sheetz out of luck.

No Sheetz.

**Danny** · February-12-25, 09:46 AM

Royal Oak [[Or should I say Royal Joke!) City Council has approved a Sheetz Location on 14 Mile Rd and Coolidge HWY.

https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5322...oASAFQAw%3D%3D

Now this corner near a neighborhood will be so congested with more traffic. And the owner of the Gas Station on the corner will has to move away soon.

This is horrible, the whole city council should be recalled!

**Danny** · April-10-25, 09:38 AM

Lot's more Sheetz and Giggles....

Romulus will let Sheetz Truck Stop Gas Station to build their second location in their city.

Sheetz gas station to come to Shelby Township

... Nick Ruffner, public affairs manager for Sheetz, said this project is still in the early stages, and no specific timeline has been set for construction....

“This is highlighted by the first store we opened in Michigan, in Romulus, where our store helped bring down prices to offer a more competitive landscape for customers,” he said....

There's a relatively new Circle K gas station on the opposite corner.

I generally don't care when new stuff moves in. I've been around long enough to hear all the complaints, doom and gloom, then almost nothing changing over the years after the new thing moves in.

Sheetz moving in to the northern corner of 14 and Coolidge, though, is a terrible idea. I'm pretty sure it's the old McLean Fogg building [[they make lug nuts for cars.) If you look at it from Google Maps, you can't turn left into the property from eastbound 14 mile and you can't go straight into the site from northbound Coolidge either. The only access in and out would be westbound 14, or northbound Coolidge after turning left, of which only one of the three lanes is designated for.
