ROYAL OAK, MI, Feb. 4, 2025 ~ Sheetz, a popular convenience store chain that recently expanded into Michigan, is eyeing Royal Oak for its next gas station.

A developer is requesting that a plot of land at 14 Mile Road and Coolidge Highway be rezoned from industrial to business to build a Sheetz and an El Carwash. The Sheetz would be open 24/7, and would have a convenience store and gas pumps, along with a drive-thru and outdoor cafe.

(CONTINUED) The development would require changing the current road configuration, which is a concern as there is a crash history at the intersection. The Royal Oak Planning Commission is scheduled to hear public comment regarding the request at its Feb. 11 meeting in Room 21 of the City Hall Commission Chambers.    

The Highland Township City Council approved a Sheetz development at a former lumber yard on M-59 and Milford Road.
