Couldn't disagree more. Sheetz has more variety and much better ingredients. At least they did like 5 years ago when we were closer to a Sheetz. I'm still bummed that Wawa is closest to us now. Hell, Wawa only just added burgers a couple months ago. And you can't even get them for lunch yet.

All the food I've ever had from Sheetz is hot garbage. Guess the meatball sub is ok, still better from Wawa though. I'd love to be a part of a Vs food comparison. That'd be cool. And no, I don't want cheese sticks on my sundae.

Yep Sheetz subs can't hold Wawa's jock. Wawa bread and meats are far better.

But I do agree that Sheetz is where to go for munchies like mozzarella sticks. Much bigger munchie selection.

There’s a goddamn Wawa like a mile down the road. I do not get it.

Their main issues are 1. Traffic at that intersection already sort of being a mess and 2. Sheetz taking up all the parking for Natalie’s/Galley, etc

guiltyofnothing t1_j2b9e5w wrote

Traffic has been a mess there since 1994 when the Food Lion opened. And the parcel it’s going on is empty. It’s not exactly forcing out anyone.

AccidentallyTaschen t1_j2bj69p wrote

In my opinion the new light they put in earlier this year has made things much more congested. But yeah, fair point it’s been empty for a while, and even when Benny’s was super popular there it was never that crowded

I_Enjoy_Beer t1_j2btcjk wrote

In my opinion/experience, getting out of the Granite Hill neighborhood before that light went in was gambling with your life. People fly thru the Food Lion intersection, so making a left out at that intersection at Melbourne was a blind crapshoot.

Where is Sheetz going? I lived off Cherokee back when Martin's and that old smokefilled steakhouse was still around. Was a while ago.

nauraug t1_j2cr8tg wrote

Galley and Natalie's don't take much parking.

Rock Falls during a blind draw night? That could be a real issue.

CarlCasper OP t1_j29t6lf wrote

The one going up on Broad replacing the Arby's is about 3/4 mile away from the one on Staples Mill, as the crow flies anyway. But they're both major thoroughfares so I guess their stats people know what they are doing.

It’s hilarious.

CarlCasper OP t1_j29j9sm wrote

Oh man, how did I forget about that thread? That Sheetz is going to ruin the artisanal small batch vibe of the surrounding Food Lion, McDonald’s, etc.

Maybe they are just really dedicated 7/11 people.

Ravenwater t1_j29zwpd wrote

I subscribe to the theory that the 7/11 owner is behind a majority of the hubaloo

You know what.....that would be hilarious.

Sheetz has a diverse menu that they do all right. Wawa has a more limited menu that they do very well. I have learned to love them both.

geneb0322 t1_j299m96 wrote

They're building a Sheetz at the corner of Genito and Charter Colony (at the crossroads above the 'E' in 'Brandermill') at the moment, too.

BackWithAVengance t1_j29jbue wrote

Time to compete with the 3 other gas stations on that corner.

That intersection is going to an absolute show in a year or two when sheetz is done, and whatever the hell they're buiding just past Food Lion is done.

As if my commute home wasn't bad enough thru brandermill lol

geneb0322 t1_j29jzc4 wrote

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to how that intersection will be once the Sheetz is done. I figure the other 3 gas stations won't last long, though, which sucks because one of those stations has the only Bullet's that I know of that still exists.

3

BackWithAVengance t1_j29m36v wrote

the BP?

That one isn't going anywhere - it's a one way in and out for people travelling that way. Unless they get rid of the divider that is, all of those gas stations are oddly sequestered because of the traffic dividers

Easy-Remote-8667 t1_j2ac908 wrote

The Exxon beside the CVS definitely won't last. Not sure where on that corner drugs will be dealt from, though.

memorex00 t1_j2brerl wrote

Good riddance to them. Their trashcans are overflowing all of the time and there’s always at least four people chatting away inside the gas station.

Tdayohey t1_j2c4wu4 wrote

Food ain’t half bad though. Best deals on energy drinks out of the 3.

I think they’re planning to build something (apartment/condos?) where the Southside Speedway is? That Genito road is gonna be busy as heck.

CarlCasper OP t1_j299xu7 wrote

Thanks - I know I am probably missing others under construction - I only know about the WaWa that is taking the Arby's place over near Mekong because it is close by. Apparently they are finally starting demolition this month.

Does this one actually heat their chicken?

I gave up on Royal Farms after the 5th or 6th time my food was cold.

I went to NC for Christmas and went inside a Sheetz for the first time ever.

Having been a Wawa guy since my days in MD, I may now have to adjust where I get my munchies from. Sheetz menu is ridiculous!!!

d4vezac t1_j29mcxv wrote

As a VA native living in NC for the last few years, you’ll change your mind when you realize Sheetz is just fried everything. Their sandwiches and Mac and Cheese are awful.

5

FattieBanton t1_j29uozo wrote

I wouldn’t get sandwiches anywhere but wawa, no matter how good they get at Sheetz.

“Fried everything” is exactly what I want when I go to Sheetz. This Christmas I was at my cousins and for some reason, food was taking FOREVER to be served. I ducked and went to the only thing open in the middle of rural Carolina and was able to get curly fries and chicken bites. I saw they also had mozz sticks, wings etc etc.

d4vezac t1_j29vbcn wrote

I think if I had both available to me, I’d probably still go to Sheetz some, but it would be like 85/15 in favor of Wawa. It’s the only option for food close enough to my work in NC to grab something during my break, and I just start to feel gross when I have to go there more than once a week.

Dr Pepper bbq sauce

FattieBanton t1_j29vflq wrote

I feel like I’m gonna have to go there during off-peak hours and spend half an hour with their menu. DP-BBQ sauce is exactly what I need in 2023.

Also, they had these massive soda bottles (1 litre?) for $1.29🔥

I'm pleased with the two in Petersburg. I can/could get my sweet cream pretzel at Wawa and then soft serve at Sheetz to dip it in.

alexfromjupiter t1_j29q5jq wrote

i’ll give you hoagies, wawa does best sheetz in that regard, but nothing, no fast food joint, will ever beat sheetz fries for me, those things are god tier levels of good

also sheetz has a better selection of munchies imo, plus sheetz is the only place i’ve found down here that sometimes sells my favorite candy bar so i know i’ve got a bias there lol

This is where I’m at. Wawa fries taste like they got freezer burn and then thawed to mush before they stuck em in the fryer

stickynohte t1_j29k8da wrote

One of the Sheetz brothers went to my college and not only did he do a talk with business students, we got to tour Sheetz HQ! Their kitchen is basically a full dry erase board and they can come up with the most random ideas and write them up for potential to be on the menu!

You're right, the ones south of there is an Ashland address, but I missed the one way up there closer to the Sheetz. Thanks.

BiosyntheticStoma t1_j2aelmm wrote

WaWa has started to card everyone for the purchase of beer and cigarettes, and that upsets a lot of adults in my area. Sheetz gas is superior. WaWa has a kiosk for quick purchases, but you can’t purchase gas on it like Sheetz (Wtf). The only thing Sheetz lacks in is “Togo” foods. Rather bland and unappealing compared to WaWa.

Wawa is kicking the shit out of Sheetz

CarlCasper OP t1_j2aacgt wrote

For the moment yeah, but Sheetz has 4 new sites under construction and WaWa only has one. Sheetz also will go into smaller areas - they have a location at 60 and 522 for instance, Tappahannock, Roanoke Rapids.

IIRC, the Wawa just below Petersburg is the southernmost Wawa in the country. Feel free to check me on this, though.

Even before Wawa moved to Florida as mentioned, Wawa is everywhere in Hampton Roads which is further south than Petersburg. The furthest south one would have been the one off 168 at Hillcrest Parkway on the way to the Outer Banks
