Why Sheetz Is Better Than Wawa

I feel sorry for people who haven't tried Sheetz before in their lives.

Why Sheetz Is Better Than Wawa

I walked into a Wawa once while driving through Eastern Pennsylvania. I walked in and there were a lot of people in there. But, when I walked towards the cash registers, I saw already pre-made Mozzarella sticks in a box. Nah! I left. I couldn't look at the monstrosity.

There is a long standing debate about which gas station/convenience chain is better: Sheetz or Wawa. But, it shouldn't be a debate. Sheetz is better. I am from Eastern Pennsylvania where there are only Sheetz stores and no Wawa. So, am I biased? Yes. 100 percent biased. But, I fully believe that the only reason that people think that Wawa is better is because they haven't tried a Sheetz yet.

Sheetz was founded in 1952 by Bob Sheetz in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He purchased one of his father's five dairy stores and turned it into a quick shop. In 1963, Bob and his brother, Steve, opened up a second store. That's one year before Wawa even opened up their first store.

Sheetz now has over 600 stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio, and North Carolina with over 17,000 employees employed throughout.

But, that's all business jargon. Sheetz really comes down to win in the quality of food. Sheetz is famous for its MTO (Made to Order) food. You walk in and go straight to the touch screen and order anything from fried Mac and Cheese Bites to Shwingz to the Big Mozz. Literally any kind of food you can think of, Sheetz has it Made to Order for you. What does Wawa have? Hoagies? Cool.

Sheetz has been open for 24 hours a day/7 days a week since 1975. Anytime of day you can satisfy your craving, whether it be Sheetz Bro Coffee, a slushie, or, you know, gas for your car.

Sheetz has a huge fan base and following that doesn't stretch far enough. Sheetz should expand its locations at least further out East to Wawa territory so that people can experience who the real winner is.

What kind of name is Wawa anyways? That sounds like the noise a baby makes when his/her mother takes them inside a Wawa and they can't effectively communicate that what they really wanted was to be taken to a Sheetz. Those poor children, being raised under the wrong allegiance.

Business Insider came out with a video recently tooting the success of Wawa. Oh, if they only knew what a Sheetz was like. I'm no Business Insider, but I am an educated adult whose done a lot of research into the taste of Sheetz' MTO food. It's the clear winner.

Now, I'm really craving some Mozzarella sticks. But, I can't get them. There's no Sheetz on Long Island. Dear whoever owns and operates Sheetz, please set up a location near Hofstra University. Or send me a lifetime supply of Mozz sticks.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
