Sheetz’ fight for beer reform in Pennsylvania pays off.
Sheetz Convenience Stores has gained the right to sell beer at its convenience store located at 9894 Shaner Blvd. in Huntingdon, Pa., with help from a letter from Governor Wolf. The store is now debuting its fully-stocked beer cave to the public.
“We applaud Governor Wolf and the Senate and House leaders for their support in the long overdue beer reform in Pennsylvania. The approval of our application for beer sales at our Huntingdon location by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) is very encouraging,” said Ryan Sheetz, AVP of Brand Strategy. “We are optimistic that this monumental step will lead to more progress and reform on a grander scale for the benefit of Pennsylvania constituents. Pennsylvania customers deserve the right to buy beer responsibly and conveniently just like the rest of Americans across the country. We need to keep this public movement heading in the right direction and we need to Free the Beer!”
Sheetz has long been a driving voice of change regarding beer reform. Sheetz has committed to helping achieve beer reform in Pennsylvania by not only advancing the issue but also by responsibly complying with all current laws and regulations as they are set forth today. Sheetz stores enforce a 100% proof-of-age policy and employees will ask for proper identification from any customer wanting to purchase alcohol. Currently, Sheetz sells beer in more than 200 stores across the five other states in the company’s footprint, including the successful sale of beer at four other locations in Pennsylvania.
“Our Pennsylvania customers have overwhelmingly told us that they want to be afforded the right to purchase beer at convenience stores. The commitment to giving our customers what they want, when they want and how they want it 24/7 is now one step closer to becoming a reality,” said Sheetz. “We pride ourselves on being the ultimate one-stop-shop for our customers. Providing convenience to our customers is at the forefront of everything we do and we are committed to this cause until the law is changed for our Pennsylvania customers.”
