    They seem like the weird fixation people have here in the northeast about Wawa and Sheetz. People, they are just shitty convenience stores with gas pumps. Relax!

      Sheetz does have hot food items that are far better than Quickchek, 7/11, and especially Wawa, though. And their beer selection is better than most liquor stores.

      Not worth making any serious travel to but it’s worth it if you’re in the area.

      Its funny to think of PA as being northeast. I guess so but in the norther easter, we don’t have anything but Cumbies, 7/11s, and Circle Ks and they’re shit.

        Cumbies

        I prefer Cum Farm, tyvm.

        Weird hearing about Circle K though. Never heard of one for 12 years while living in MD, then saw them everywhere down in Florida. Don’t recall ever seeing a Circle K in states around MD either. 7/11 is pretty ubiquitous, however in FL they always had gas pumps and in MD it was just a corner store. It’s so weird how much it can vary from region to region, and sometimes even by bordering states.

          Circle Ks are dying and 7/11 almost did in the 90s and now it’s only a straggler in a few towns up here.

          There are new replacements but they aren’t memorable enough to bother learning the names of.

          Circle K bought a fairly large regional brand in my area and converted them to Circle K.

      They are normal until you leave the area they cover and see just how bad other gas stations are. It’s pretty bad out there

    • You and me are going to have to fight now because you ranked Wawa and Sheetz as if they were equivalent. Wawa is the worst of the bunch of made-to-order food counter gas station/convenience store chains. People from Philly just gush about them because they never go any further than Bucks county and they don’t know any better.

      Rutter’s blows them all out of the water, though.
