Sheetz on Southside Bethlehem, with drive-through, set to open Thursday [Video]

The Lehigh Valley’s newest Sheetz convenience store is slated to open Thursday on the eastern portion of Bethlehem’s Southside.

The store at 1780 E. Fourth St. — between Emery Street and Lynn Avenue — will host a grand opening starting at 9 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to follow. There’ll be multiple prizes and giveaways; a grand prize featuring free Sheetz items for a year; and free self-serve coffee and soda for the entire day, chain representatives said.

Additionally, Sheetz representatives plan to donate $2,500 to the Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania, as well as $2,500 to the Special Olympics of Pennsylvania. The food bank serves 200 agencies in Northampton and Lehigh counties, as well as neighboring Carbon, Monroe, Pike and Wayne counties, according to its website. Customers who donate non-perishable food items to the food bank from 9 to 11 a.m. Thursday also will receive a Sheetz-brand thermal bag, while supplies last, representatives said.
