If you’re wondering whether to count on Sheetz being open on Thanksgiving, you can. Unlike most restaurants, fast food chains, and grocery stores that close or cut hours for the holiday, Sheetz runs its standard 24/7 operation on Thanksgiving — and on every other major holiday throughout the year.
This guide covers Sheetz holiday hours for every major US holiday, answers the most common questions about holiday availability, and explains the rare exceptions where a specific location might differ.

The rule is simple: Sheetz does not close for holidays. The 24/7 operation is a core part of the Sheetz brand identity — it’s one of the main reasons the chain has built such a loyal customer base among shift workers, travelers, and anyone who needs food or fuel outside standard business hours.
Is Sheetz Open on Thanksgiving Day?
Yes. Sheetz is open on Thanksgiving Day for the full 24-hour period. This applies to the vast majority of Sheetz locations across all eight states where the chain operates — Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Michigan, and Indiana.
On Thanksgiving, you can order from the complete MTO food menu (including breakfast, which is available all day), the full coffee and drinks menu, and fuel up at the pump. There are no holiday menu restrictions or limited Thanksgiving menus.
Thanksgiving tip: Sheetz locations near major highways and interstates tend to be busier than usual on Thanksgiving Day and the day before (the busiest travel day of the year in the US). If you’re hitting the road, expect slightly longer MTO wait times at high-traffic locations — typically 5–12 minutes instead of the usual 3–8.
Is Sheetz Open on Christmas?
Yes. Sheetz is open on Christmas Day and Christmas Eve, operating its standard 24-hour schedule. Christmas is no exception to the 365-day operation policy. Whether you need a last-minute food run on Christmas morning or fuel on Christmas Eve, Sheetz will be open.
Is Sheetz Open on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day?
Yes to both. New Year’s Eve sees Sheetz busier than usual in the late evening hours — the combination of people heading to and from celebrations plus the 24-hour operation makes Sheetz a popular late-night option. New Year’s Day operates as a standard 24-hour day with the full menu available.
Does Sheetz Have Reduced Holiday Hours?
No — Sheetz does not operate reduced hours on any holiday. There is no concept of ‘holiday hours’ at Sheetz in the same way there is at most retailers. The store either operates at its standard hours (24/7 for almost all locations) or it doesn’t — and essentially all locations operate 24/7 year-round.
Are There Any Sheetz Locations That Close on Holidays?
A very small number of Sheetz locations — typically those in certain shopping centers, office parks, or non-standard settings — may operate reduced hours and could potentially close on major holidays. These are rare exceptions rather than the rule.
How to check your specific location: Use the Sheetz store locator at sheetz.com to find your nearest location and confirm its hours. The locator shows each store’s operating hours and any temporary closures.
