Sheetz, a prominent Mid-Atlantic convenience store chain, announced today the expansion of its cryptocurrency payment options to all 750+ locations through a partnership with digital payments platform Flexa. This initiative positions Sheetz as one of the first major convenience store chains in the United States to offer widespread cryptocurrency acceptance.
Building on a successful initial rollout at select stores, the expanded partnership enables customers across Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, and Maryland to utilize digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and USDC for purchases. Transactions are facilitated through the Flexa platform, which integrates directly with Sheetz’s point-of-sale systems. This integration aims to provide a streamlined and secure payment process for customers.
The partnership allows customers to utilize their preferred digital wallets while continuing to accrue benefits within the My Sheetz Rewardz loyalty program. Flexa emphasizes the speed and security of its technology, highlighting its ability to facilitate instant, fraud-proof transactions.
“This expanded partnership provides Sheetz customers with a more versatile payment option, encompassing both stablecoins like USDC and other widely adopted digital currencies,” a Sheetz representative stated.
Ryan Sheetz, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Supply Chain, commented on the expansion, stating, “This initiative reflects our commitment to innovation and providing customers with the payment solutions they seek.”
