Altoona,

one of America’s fastest growing family-owned and operated convenience
store chains for over 65 years, is excited to reveal the recipients of
its Time Back initiative
in honor of Global Pay It Forward Day on April 28, 2019.
As
the Ultimate One-Stop Shop, Sheetz’s goal is to give customers time back
in their everyday lives to do more of the things they love most. Committed
to listening to what's really important and engaging its customers in a

them with prizes that are important to them, including donations to charities
they are passionate about, brand new vehicles, dream vacations and more.
“As
a family-owned and operated company, connecting with our customers and
giving back are core values ingrained in Sheetz’s DNA,” said Ryan Sheetz,
AVP of Brand at Sheetz. “Standing behind those core values, we had a once
in a lifetime opportunity to surprise a few of our lucky fans with more
of the things they love in order to help them enjoy all of the time back
they get from shopping at Sheetz.”
