Altoona,
PA – December 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / Sheetz,
one of America’s fastest growing family-owned and operated convenience
chains, is proud to announce customers can now order their favorite Made-to-Order
food without even getting up from the couch. Sheetz created a new skill
for Alexa which is now available using interactive voice-activated technology
to enable Sheetz customers, for the first time ever, to place an order
by using just their voice.
“We
could not be more excited to bring this next generation of innovation to
our customers and industry,” said Ryan Sheetz, AVP of Brand Strategies
for Sheetz. “From the inception of our MTO menu more than thirty years
ago, to the introduction of touch-screen ordering in 1993, to the launch
of the voice-activated ordering today, our goal has always been to continue
to innovate and reinvent ourselves in order to provide the ultimate convenience
to our customers.”
Customers
who have a Sheetz online ordering account and an Alexa-enabled device can
use the new Sheetz skill for Alexa.
