PA – April 2021 / Newsmaker Alert / Sheetz,
a major Mid-Atlantic restaurant and convenience chain, is humbled to announce
it has been named one of the 2021
Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For®. This list, now in its
24th year, recognizes companies that have exceptional workplace cultures.
Sheetz was ranked 83rd on this year’s list.
This is the seventh time in eight years Sheetz has been named to this prominent list and follows a recent investment of $28.5 million in store employee wages as well as an updated the company’s parental leave policy which includes 12 weeks of fully paid time off for new mothers and two weeks of fully paid time off for partners. “This recognition is a testament to our employees’ hard work and dedication to each other, our customers and the communities we serve, especially amid a challenging and unprecedented year,’ said Joe Sheetz, CEO of Sheetz. “We will continue to invest in our employees not only by providing competitive wages and benefits but also by providing opportunities to continually grow and succeed through career development, tuition reimbursement, quarterly bonuses and more.” This year’s list specifically focused on companies that have created great places to work during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the pandemic, Sheetz immediately implemented new cleaning and sanitization protocols as well as new safety measures to protect its employees and customers. Sheetz also increased pay for store employees, released new scan-and-go technology in support of social distancing recommendations, rolled out curbside pickup and delivery options, offered free coffee to healthcare workers to fuel them as they fought the pandemic on the front lines, donated more than 600,000 meals to children and families in need and more. “Congratulations to the 100 Best Companies to Work For. These companies stood out for heroic efforts to care for their employees, their customers and our society, in a difficult year,” said Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “Remarkably, our research found that employee experience scores rose at these workplaces overall last year – a testament to the resilience of their inclusive, high-trust cultures.” Current Sheetz, Inc.
