"Everyone loves a good Sheetz Run, even the President of the United States."

President Biden stops at Pittsburgh-area Sheetz to buy sandwiches for construction workers



PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- President Joe Biden stopped at Sheetz with Pittsburgh-area leaders to pick up sandwiches for construction workers during his visit Wednesday.

The presidential motorcade pulled into the Sheetz gas station in Moon Township around 3:30 p.m., according to pool reporters. Wearing his aviators, Biden talked to customers and posed for a selfie. At the counter, he handed over some money and picked up takeout bags before posing for pictures with employees.

He left the store a few minutes later with an aide behind him carrying a box of snacks, the pool report says.

"Everyone loves a good Sheetz Run, even the President of the United States," Sheetz said in a statement.

Pool reports President Joe Biden's motorcade has stopped at a Pittsburgh area Sheetz for Fryz. This on the day Wawa announces a massive mid-state expansion. This has been your Pa. convenience store news update.


The Great Sheetz/Wawa debate is now over.
