Another one in the win column! American convenience store and coffee shop chain Sheetz announced on Thursday that it will start accepting cryptocurrencies for payments.
All the main ones like Bitcoin, Ether, and Dogecoin can be used for the purpose.
The executive payments manager of the major Mid-Atlantic chain has said that accepting crypto assets bolsters the company’s mission to provide customers with the ultimate one-stop shop for pretty much all their needs.
Linda Smith, the payments manager for Sheetz, said that the company wants to provide its customers with a place where they can refuel their car and refresh their body. And ease is a major factor in providing this ultimate experience.
She elaborated:
“As a result, we are constantly innovating and exploring new offerings to truly give our customers what they want, when they want it, 24/7/365 — that includes accepting many forms of payment. We’re very excited to be working with Flexa to roll out support for cryptocurrencies and other types of digital assets at our stores.”
Sheetz will begin accepting crypto payments via the digital payments network Flexa, with the convenience store chain already in on the act and fuel pump crypto payments set to roll out this summer.
The chain will leverage the climate neutral payments technology of the abovementioned provider at a number of select cafes and stores at first.
Founded in 1952, by two brothers Robert and Steve, Sheetz is headquartered in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and operates 622 convenience stores and coffee shops in Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Maryland.
