Sheetz opens on 610 in North Stafford

Sheetz opened it’s 514th store in North Stafford.

Store employees, county officials, and curious residents who watched hte buidling rise out of the ground starting last fall cheered when a ribbon was cut to open the fast food fueling station at 11 a.m.

“Now we’re open, and we’re never going to close,” said Emily Sheetz, who was on hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony.

The 24-hour pit stop offers not only lower priced fuel, but deli sandwiches, hamburgers, coffee, and a wide range of cold drinks — from soda to milkshakes.

Sheetz hired 38 employees to operate the new store. Many were handing out gift cards, and samples of sandwiches and doughnuts during the grand opening ceremony.

The store at the intersection of Garrisonville (Route 610) and Furnace roads is one of 28 new locations the company plans to open in 2016. It is the second Sheetz to open in Stafford County.

The growing Pennsylvania-based company plans to continue opening stores in its six core focus states of Virginia, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, said Sheetz.

Sheetz announced it would open in North Stafford in 2013.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
