Sheetz begins petition drive for beer sales in Pa.

The Altoona-based Sheetz convenience store chain has started a petition drive to convince Pennsylvania lawmakers that customers want to buy beer in its stores.

I guess gouging people at the gas pumps is not enough for Sheetz they have to sell beer like they are not making enough money. Back in December of 2008 when gas prices were $1.49 a gallon Sheetz had 335 stores. In about 10 months those crooks opened over 15 stores. I wonder where they got the money? 335 stores buys you a lot of gas off NYMEX for a bout a $1 a gallon.

They should be allowed to sell beer in there stores. The LCB are nothing but trouble.

it is about time Pennsylvania made some attempt to come out of the dark ages and allow this. I never understood how or why this has not happened before. The logic is crazy..."let's make people go buy a whole case of beer instead of just a six pack..." Yeah, that makes me drink less....NOT!

It's past time to get rid of state stores and the
union (__*__) that run this 3rd world state.

Could never figure out why someone would want to buy a sixpack when you can buy a case for about twice what the sixpack sells for. That's one of the things poor people do that keeps them poor.

Yeah!!! It's about time. It's like Pennsylvania got stuck in the 1930s.

They could add a "Beer" section on the MTO screen. PA is pretty backwards re: alcohol.
