A new Sheetz gas station is coming to Woodbridge on 2540 Caton Hill Road.
The Prince William county board approved the application for the Sheetz location at their May 12 meeting.
According to County Planning Office employee Rebecca Horner, the 12,210 square foot site will include fueling stations and food access.
“They’re proposing 12 fueling stations with double-sided pump islands. And it will have a quick service food [station] located in it, like [Sheetz] typically do,” said Horner.
The Sheetz will be in a prime location, adjacent to the new Telegraph Road Commuter Lot that was completed in 2014. It will also be close to the Horner Road Commuter Lot – the largest commuter lot in Virginia.
Additionally, it will be just a short distance from a Wawa – one of it’s direct competitors – which is located on the corner of Caton Hill Road and Minnieville Road.
This comes at a time of expansion for the company in the area, as Sheetz locations are being opened in Manassas on Sudley Manor Drive and Ashton Avenue and in Stafford on Garrisonville Road and Furnace Road.
The site had been zoned for this type of development since 1995, said Horner.
“It had reserved the potential for a motor vehicle fuel station with an associated quick service food [addition] in the original rezoning…the proffer specifically stated that [it] would be an allowed use,” Horner commented.
As part of the plan approved by the board, the new Sheetz will have to pay $75 per acre on the 2.04 acre lot, towards water quality monitoring, stream restoration and drainage improvements conducted by the county. They will also pay $0.61 per square foot for fire and rescue services.
There is no set date for the Sheetz location to be built as of yet.
