Sheetz Food Preparation/Distribution Facility Coming To Findlay

Sheetz has announced that it will be constructing a new $150 million facility in Findlay that will house additional food preparation and distribution functions as they expand their footprint into new markets.

The project is expected to create 750 jobs over five years.

The facility will be located on a 73 acre site on the east side of Lowe’s Distribution Center, bordered by Township Road 99 on the north and County Road 212 on the south.

Sheetz has been working closely with Findlay-Hancock County Economic Development, the Regional Growth Partnership, and JobsOhio on the project.

“Sheetz is thankful for the cooperation and support of all the local, county and state leaders who have helped make this project possible,” said Sheetz President/CEO Travis Sheetz.

“We’re excited to bring new opportunities to the area, as we continue to expand throughout the state of Ohio and into Michigan in 2025. Findlay is located in the heart of this new growth area and will play a big role in the future of Sheetz.”

“We are happy to have played a role in attracting this project and look forward to seeing the positive impact that Sheetz will have,” said Dan Sheaffer, Executive Director of Findlay-Hancock County Economic Development.

 

 

“The facility will bring more well-paying, quality jobs to the area by a family-owned company that is truly committed to community success.”

Local government also played an important part in attracting the company as demonstrated by Findlay City Council’s commitment to infrastructure related to the project.

“The unanimous decision to support this project by City Council sends a strong signal that Findlay is proud of our business community and is willing to make investments to continue to set our community up as a premier place to do business,” said Mayor Christina Muryn.

“We are thrilled to welcome Sheetz to our community.”

In 1952, Sheetz, Inc. was founded in Altoona, PA where headquarters are still located. The company remains family-owned and operates over 685 convenience restaurant stores in six states including Ohio.

The company employs more than 25,000 people. Sheetz has been continually recognized for creating a top workplace for employees and is a staunch community advocate.
