GAHANNA, Ohio (WCMH) – After a “long” and “contentious” road filled with multiple rejections from Gahanna’s planning commission and pushback from residents, Sheetz has officially opened in the city.
The convenience store and gas station began welcoming customers at 495 Crescent Place, in southern Gahanna off Tech Center Drive, on Tuesday at 9 a.m. The new Sheetz location brings the brand to nearly 30 stores in the Columbus area, according to a news release.
In July 2024, Gahanna’s planning commission gave the green light to a proposal by Skilken Gold, a Columbus-based real estate company, to build the Sheetz on an undeveloped 2.9-acre property. The approval came after the commission shut down two of the company’s previous attempts to bring a Sheetz to the city, including rejecting plans for a store between Johnstown Road and Morse Road in March 2023 and another at 230 Granville St. in April 2024.
