PITTSBURGH, PA — Where the signs came from remains a mystery. But their claim that Sheetz is about to build its first location within Pittsburgh city limits is false. The signs were posted over the weekend at the fenced-in site of a former Marathon gas station on Forbes Avenue near the University of Pittsburgh campus. But a Sheetz spokesman told The Pitt News that the Altoona-based convenience store chain has no intention of building on the property. If you go to Pitt, you know about the "Sheetz vs. Wawa'' debate. While everyone has their own view as to which one's better, one thing's certain — a Sheetz is not coming to Oakland.https://t.co/cFMSScqTjO— The Pitt News (@ThePittNews) July 26, 2021 Don't despair, Sheetz fans. There are more than two dozen Sheetz stores in Allegheny County, but not one within the city. CA Ventures of Chicago has proposed building a 10-story apartment building on the Oakland site, with retail likely on the ground floor. So there is no truth to this creative tweet claiming another coveted structure is coming to Forbes Avenue: Forget Sheetz… pic.twitter.com/Lsgl02zEDM— George Michalowski (@MichalowskiCBB) July 26, 2021 Be the first to know what's happening in your community and region.
