During a public hearing of the Ellwood City Borough Council Monday evening, officials representing Sheetz presented plans for a proposed store.
The 6,070 square foot store, as presented, would be anchored between Glen Avenue, Fountain Avenue, 5th Street, and Locust Way—across the street from McDonald’s.
According to Ryan Wotus, attorney with Goldberg, Kamin & Garvin, LLP, the properties to be vacated in that area are currently under agreement with RBG Development.
David Mastrostephano, manager of Sheetz engineering permit, said 14 properties are being developed.

He also discussed plans to make a portion of Glen Avenue two way as well as providing expanded access to the light at Fountain and 5th.
Based on the drawings presented at the meeting, the gas pumps would flow parallel with 5th street— directly across from McDonalds—with the store positioned behind the bay of pumps. Mastrostephano said the main entrance of the store would face Fountain Avenue.
Council will consider the request to vacate Locust Way from Fountain Avenue to Glen Avenue and Fountain Avenue from 5th Street to Locust Way during the regular meeting on November 15 at 6 p.m.
Currently, the closest Sheetz locations to Ellwood City are seven miles south in Beaver Falls and and nine miles north in New Castle according to Google Maps.
Earlier this year, a Dunkin Donut management group opted out of a proposed location at the nearby corner of 5th Street and Spring Avenue.

can’t imagine 7/11 and intown and b&b and barrys surviving this.
Dan Bartolomeo, That’s the rub, They Won’t. The real question to ask everyone, are you willing to end 3-5 business’s in Ellwood to gain 1?
