Sheetz opens fourth Michigan location in Warren
Macomb Township approves new Sheetz despite fiery meeting
Emotions ran high with some community members but a new Sheetz was approved in Macomb Township.
(FOX 2) - Michigan's fourth Sheetz location officially opens in Metro Detroit on Tuesday.
The unveiling in Warren is part of the gas station brand's push into the state as it seeks to expand around the country.
Big picture view:
The latest Sheetz can be found at 31925 Van Dyke Ave. in Warren.
It follows an expansion that includes areas in Romulus and Chesterfield Township. Several other locations are also under construction around Metro Detroit.
That includes Eastpointe, Novi, Fraser, Taylor, and Roseville.
The company has previously hinted at plans to really ramp up its presence in Michigan.
Royal Oak Sheetz plan moving forward after city commission vote
A plan to build a Sheetz gas station in Royal Oak is moving forward after a unanimous "yes" vote from the city commission Monday.
Dig deeper:
The gas station typically operates 24 hours a day and has major capacity for drivers with an array of fuel pumps.
However, their expansion into Michigan has also brought push back from community members. Residents have given fiery remarks during planning meetings in Macomb Township, Royal Oak, and Farmington Hills.
Despite the turmoil, the gas station has mostly seen success in getting its locations approved.
