C-Stores Recognized as Best Places to Work in Retail

Sheetz, The Spinx Company and Dash In were named by Fortune.

September 12, 2024

Fortune partnered with the global people analytics firm Great Place to Work to compile lists of the best small and medium workplaces in retail, as well as the best large workplaces in retail. Honored on the two lists were three c-store operators: Sheetz Inc., The Spinx Company, and Dash In, a Wills Group company.

In the large business category, Sheetz ranked No. 2 while Spinx ranked No. 9. The Wills Group, parent company to Dash In convenience stores, ranked No. 9 in the small/medium business category.

Fortune selects its Best Workplaces in Retail rankings by using Great Place to Work to survey employees about their workplace experience. Using its proprietary Trust Index survey, Great Place to Work measures the core of what it knows creates great workplaces—key behaviors that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues, and loyalty to the company.

This year, Sheetz followed Wegmans Food Markets on the list but climbed ahead of Target (last year, Sheetz was recognized as third on the list). Sheetz was also named among the top 10 on People magazine’s Companies that Care 2024 list. Sheetz is ranked ninth on this year’s list, which is the highest the company has ever been ranked.

This is the first time that Spinx has been recognized by Fortune and Great Place to Work on the best large workplaces in retail list. Last year, the company was included on its list of 100 Best Large Workplaces for Women, with the retailer coming in at No. 7.

For Dash In, this is the second consecutive year the company has been named in the best retail workplace category.

“This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to creating an exceptional workplace culture,” said Blackie Wills, president and chief executive officer, Wills Group, the parent company of Dash In. “Our commitment to the Dash In guest experience begins with our employees. They are the reason the Wills Group is so passionate about creating an environment where employees can thrive.”
