One of the first Sheetz gas stations in the region, located at 4021 Prince William Parkway in Dale City, is facing the prospect of demolition. Sheetz, known for its low-cost gas and made-to-order food, built its Dale City location a quarter-century ago and could be replaced with a modernized facility featuring a drive-through lane.

Sheetz, owned by STEICO Incorporated, is petitioning the Prince William Board of County Supervisors for a special use permit (SUP) that would permit the addition of a drive-through facility. If granted, the company plans to demolish the existing structure and construct a new Sheetz gas station with updated interior design features and a reinstated drive-through for the convenience store.

The permit request will be deliberated at the county Planning Commission meeting on February 7, 2024, at the McCoart Building in Woodbridge, starting at 7 p.m. The SUP request encompasses the demolition and rebuilding of the existing Sheetz, featuring 6,100 square feet of gross floor area, with a total of 12 gas pumps.

The Sheetz transformation project is geared towards bringing a fresh and modern look to the iconic gas station. The new design features will extend to the fuel canopy, and the drive-through facility is expected to enhance the overall customer experience.

Sheetz has nine locations in Prince William County, with the first being constructed in Haymarket in 1996.

Sheetz is a chain of convenience stores and gas stations primarily located in the Mid-Atlantic. The company was founded in 1952 and has expanded its presence in various states, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina.
