Bob Sheetz founded Sheetz Inc. in 1952 when he purchased one of his father's five area dairy stores and later hired his brother Steve to work part-time at the store. It was not until 1963 that the second store was opened under the name "Sheetz Kwik Shopper," taking another five years to open the third store. In 1969, Steve joined Bob in the business as general manager and the brothers planned to expand at the rate of one store per year, with a target of seven stores by 1972. In 1972, the brothers literally doubled the size of the company, expanding from seven to 14 stores. One year later, Sheetz added gasoline pumps and introduced self- serve gasoline to Central Pennsylvania. By 1983, Bob and Steve had opened 100 stores and the following year, Bob retired and handed over the leadership of the company to his trusted business partner and brother Steve. In 1995, Stan Sheetz, Bob's son, became president and Steve assumed the position of chairman of the board. In 2013, Joe took over for Stan, who assumed the role of chairman of the board. To this day, Sheetz maintains a unique and successful family business with four family members serving on the executive committee and five on the board.
