Reply to comment by ballsonthewall in Why are there no Sheetz within city limits? by Some_Guy_Running

There used to be one in Oakland, back when I was attending Pitt in the 80s. Not sure when it closed.

It was on the corner of Forbes and Oakland Ave. Where the First National Bank is now (across the street from Stack'd).

Use to love buying chili-cheese hot dogs from there. Could get two of them for some really cheap price, something like 2 for $2. Might have even been two for a buck. I forget.

There was also a 7-11 on Forbes at the same time. Across the street from DLH (david lawrence hall; I think they just call it "lawrence hall" now). Where the 'forbes street market' now is.

The loss of that 7-11 while I was going there was brutal

I used to go to that one in those days too. It was a GNC for a while after that.
