Veterans Day is Wednesday, November 11, and retailers are rolling out offers to honor veterans.
Sheetz said it will honor veterans and active-duty military personnel with a free meal and car wash on Veterans Day.
“On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Sheetz invites all veterans and active-duty military personnel to enjoy a free half turkey sub and a regular size fountain drink at any of Sheetz’s more than 850 store locations. The offer includes extras and add-ons to the sub,” the retailer said in a press release sent to NACS.
Sheetz will also offer a free car wash to veterans and active-duty military personnel at participating locations. The offer is valid for Sheetz’s $9.99 car wash option and is available only at stores equipped with a car wash. Proof of military service is required to redeem the offer.
Throughout November, Sheetz said customers can donate their loyalty points to the United Service Organizations (USO), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting U.S. service members and their families. Through the Sheetz app, every 100 loyalty points donated will equal a $1 contribution to the USO.

The one-day offer is available at participating Circle K locations across the U.S. Veterans can redeem it by presenting a valid military ID at purchase.
