ALEXANDRIA, Va. – With 500-plus convenience stores throughout six states, Sheetz is one of the most successful convenience retailers in the country. From its popular MTO sandwich program, to its work with the Partnership for a Healthier America and its recognition as one of the best companies to work for, Sheetz has a strong reputation among consumers and its retail industry peers. Even with its successes, the family-owned and operated business continually strives to reinvent itself.

The latest NACS Convenience Matters podcast explores how Sheetz seeks out new opportunities and addresses challenges that are common to convenience retailers. In “A Conversation with Sheetz CEO Joe Sheetz,” cohosts Jeff Lenard of NACS and John Eichberger of the Fuels Institute talk to Joe Sheetz, president and CEO of the retail chain.

“Our industry shares more than any other industry, and this podcast is a case in point. It’s the first of our regular series of podcasts talking to senior industry leaders about issues important to their business, and a look at what all retailers can do to take advantage of emerging trends,” Lenard said.

A new NACS Convenience Matters podcast launches each week, focusing on topics related to convenience stores. Since February 2016, it has been downloaded in more than 50 countries.
