John Fetterman is a Sheetz guy. We don't have them in Philly only Wawa and 7/11. You have them both I think. Tom Thumb, Rutters and Turkey Hill stores, you have them all. Philly is Wawa only. There is a Royal Farms near me, I've never set foot in it.

@barjoe i slept in my tIny RV In a Royal parking lot once...damn glad it was there!

@AnneWimsey They sell fried chicken? They have tables outside in the summer. There's only two stores in Philly, one is near me. I go to Wawa for coffee or to buy gas. Do they have Wawa near you? They are expanding.

@barjoe we have a good variety of convenience stores. It used to be, I heard, a gentleman’s agreement that stores would dominate an area. In Lancaster we had Turkey Hill and Penn Supreme stores, York was dominated by Rutters. Sheetz was mostly to the north of Rt. 22. And everything east of Lancaster was Wawa. Royal Farm didn’t venture north of the Maryland line. 7-11 were scattered around, I think we had two that I know of in Lancaster County.
In the past ten to twenty years that agreement disappeared, along with Penn Supreme, Getty, and A+, which were gasoline company owned. Now we have all of them, with more everyday. That was a good thing, because it forced Turkey Hill to upgrade their crummy little shops to compete against the much bigger and better Sheetz and Wawa stores. Royal Frams have just started opening up in the past five years or so.

@Barnie2years I was always a dine in guy. Since the pandemic, I do Wawa hoagies a lot because they're cheap and they're good. I've been to Sheetz, they're good for coffee, nice fresh pastry in morning. Their food is rest stop quality fast food, not nearly as good as Wawa imho. I've heard Rutters' is really good, I've never been.
