Is it a requirement if you own a gas station to give it a cutesy name?

Sac n' Pac
Toot n' Totum
Wag a Bag
Sip n' Strut

9. Oh, but Sheetz is so much more than a gas station!
I loved the Sheetz back in PA. They've finally spread
all the way down here to NC, but they sadly don't have
those little cinnamon rolls I loved so much! :cry:

10. You mean Schmuffins?
And MTO's are da bomb.


I met Steve Sheetz in 1990, when he gave a talk at PSU Altoona. True fact.

11. No, Schmuffins are (were?) awesome in their own right, but they ain't no mini cinnamon rolls.
About 1992 or so, when Sheetz started making the transition
from "ordinary 7/11 clone" to what they are today, they used
to sell their own brand of mini cinnamon rolls.

They came in 10-packs (or was it 12?) about the size of a carton
of cigarettes, and they kept them right up in front, by the register.
They came in "plain" and "cream cheese icing" varieties.

WOW, they were good!

Well, that's not officially a gas station but an archery/hunting/variety store near me.

8. No fun ones 'round here ever since the Gaseteria became a Kwik Fill
I kinda miss the Mexican theme. Never understood the connection, though. :shrug:
