Adam previously served as Sheetz's executive vice president of operations.
Travis Sheetz will continue serving as CEO, focusing on the company's long-term strategic direction, resource allocation and growth opportunities.
In his role as president and COO, Adam will focus on overseeing daily operations, driving execution and delivering results for Sheetz and its employees. He will also prioritize accelerating responses to market opportunities while strengthening cross-functional collaboration across departments.
"The role of COO requires strong business judgment, a deep connection to our customers and the ability to translate strategy into action," said Travis Sheetz. "Adam brings all of these qualities to this role. As a longtime leader at Sheetz, he has a deep understanding of our business, a strong belief in our values and a clear appreciation for what makes this company successful. He understands that our success starts at the store level and he knows that every decision we make ultimately comes back to serving our customers, our communities and supporting our employees."
Adam's appointment marks a significant milestone in Sheetz's history, representing the continuation of third-generation family leadership. His grandfather, Bob Sheetz, founded the company in 1952.
"I am humbled by this new opportunity and the chance to continue our mission of total customer focus across every state where we operate today and in the future," said Adam Sheetz. "Our mission is anchored in the values that were vital to my grandfather when he founded Sheetz nearly 75 years ago, and those values continue to guide how we serve our customers, support our employees and grow our business today. It's an honor to carry that work into the future, building on the strong foundation established before me and doing so on behalf of our employees and customers."
