The Pennsylvania Society will award Sheetz its Gold Medal for Distinguished Achievement on Saturday, December 2 at the Society’s annual dinner at the New York Hilton in New York City.
“The Sheetz family is a success story that reflects the best traditions of Pennsylvania and The Pennsylvania Society,” said Roger Richards, Pennsylvania Society President. “From its founding in rural Blair County in 1952, Sheetz has championed industry-leading innovations, from touch-screen technology to the then-revolutionary idea that a convenience store could serve quality food. With more than 500 stores now, they have grown to become one of the largest and most-successful convenience store networks in the nation.”
“Yet they never have forgotten where they came from, giving back generously to the community each step of the way,” said Richards. “All of which makes the Sheetz family the ideal recipient of the Society’s 2017 Gold Medal.”
Travis Sheetz, executive vice president of Operations, will accept the award on behalf of the family.
The Gold Medal is awarded to a prominent person in recognition of leadership, citizenship and contributions to the arts, science, education and industry.
