• The rival convenience store is proposing a new location in Montgomery County.

• A Super Wawa would be right across the street.

LIMERICK TOWNSHIP, Pa. - A long-standing convenience store rivalry may finally come face-to-face!

What we know

Sheetz is proposing plans to build a new location on West Ridge Pike, Limerick Township, in Montgomery County, according to reports.

Not only would the chain be encroaching on Wawa's turf, the store would be right across the street from a Super Wawa!

The backstory

The convenience stores have been locked in a friendly Pennsylvania rivalry for years, with strong support on both sides.

However, this is the first time Sheetz could be making its way closer to Philadelphia.

The closest Sheetz store is currently in Mogantown, Pennsylvania, which is nearly 40 miles away.

What's next

Sheetz's proposal was reportedly brought up during a board of supervisors meeting last week, and will be discussed further at a March 4 meeting.
