Council to Consider Sheetz Store, Liquor License for El Canelo

Ellwood City Borough Council will consider approving a request by Sheetz, Inc. to have a Sheetz convenience store with self-serve sale of motor fuels at 5th Street/Glen Avenue during its regular meeting on Monday, December 20, at 6 p.m.

Ellwood City Borough Council voted to approve the vacation of Locust Way from Fountain Avenue to Glen Avenue and Fountain Avenue from 5th Street to Locust Way on November 15.

The only “No” vote at that time came from Councilman Jim Barry. Councilwoman Judith Dici was absent from the November meeting.

During a public hearing of the Ellwood City Borough Council on November 8, officials representing Sheetz presented plans for the 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.

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. David Mastrostephano, manager of Sheetz engineering permit said the main entrance of the store would face Fountain Avenue.

Council also will consider the approval of a resolution permitting the intermunicipal transfer of a restaurant liquor license into Ellwood City by El Canelo IX, LLC for use at facilities located at 1226 Lawrence Avenue, Ellwood City, PA 16117.

In addition Council will hold its reorganization meeting to appoint a president and committees of Council.
