Sheetz MTO voted the "Coolest Thing Made in PA"

Gas station food punditz take note: Sheetz made-to-order (MTO) menu is the coolest thing made in Pennsylvania. Why it matters: Sheetz is a sanctuary for road-weary travelers, over-served college kids and 9-to-5ers alike. Jalapeno Popperz, are we right? Driving the news: In a 64-product bracket hosted by the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, Sheetz's MTO menu was crowned 2025's "Coolest Thing Made in PA," beating big names like Crayola Crayons, Hershey Bars, Yuengling and Eat'n Park's Smiley Cookie. The convenience store's eastern rival Wawa, based in Delaware County, was notably left out of the competition. By the numbers: More than 65,000 votes were recorded this year through the chamber's social media pages. Zoom in: Sheetz offers more than 400 made-to-order items, including burgers, tacos and wraps, 24/7. Customers can customize their drinks and meals, from bread and toppings to sauces. Add fried mozz sticks to your burger if you wish. What they're saying:"We are honored and so grateful,'" said marketing and supply chain VP Ryan Sheetz in a news release. Zoom out: The fan-driven bracket is a celebration of the Keystone State's manufacturing muscle. Last year's winner was a Primanti Bros. sandwich, a two-time reigning champion.
