Sheetz invests in wages

Sheetz announced Wednesday it is furthering its commitment to its employees with an investment of $16.8 million in store wages.

Recently named one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For by Fortune and Great Place to Work for the fifth time in six years, nearly all Sheetz employees will experience an increase in wages or have already experienced an increase within the last year. The increase is part of Sheetz’s goal to offer competitive wages, enabling it to attract and retain top talent.

This investment comes on the heels of a $15 million investment in employee wages in 2016. That investment coincided with a significant effort to shift more store employees from part-time to full-time work.

Sheetz currently operates 596 stores throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, West Virginia and North Carolina and has over 20,000 employees and nearly 3,000 active open positions.
