Hope Mills, NC — Sheetz is expanding its infrastructure along the East Coast with the opening of a new travel center at 310 Chicken Foot Rd, adding 41 dedicated spaces for heavy-duty trucks to park overnight. The facility, accessible via Interstate 95 Exit 41, begins operations on Feb. 15, addressing a critical shortage of secure rest stops for drivers navigating the busy corridor between Wilmington and Fayetteville.

* *Body Paragraph 2 (Background/Context):* * *Content:* Why this matters. I-95 is busy. Parking is hard. This is Sheetz's 41st truck-diesel location. * *Draft:*

Truckers running the I-95 stretch in southeastern North Carolina often face limited options for compliant parking and high-flow fueling. This new location marks the 41st Sheetz site equipped with truck diesel fuel lanes, signaling a continued push by the retailer to service the commercial fleet market. The addition provides a reliable base for CDL-A drivers who need to reset their hours or refuel without the delays common at smaller, unstaffed lots.
