Sheetz's Michigan expansion plan stumbles

Why it matters: Sheetz's mega-stations might be too much for some Metro Detroit suburbs.

• "It looks like a mini-truck stop to me," Christian Lucido, one of about two dozen residents who spoke at last week's meeting said, the Macomb Daily reported.

State of play: Sheetz is known for its round-the-clock hours and robust food options.

• The first Michigan location is expected to open in Romulus near Detroit Metro Airport this year. Sheetz also wants to open in Rochester Hills.
• The gas stations are typically about 6,000 square feet, with up to 40 parking spots, eight fueling stations and a drive-through, per Crain's Detroit.

The intrigue: The Fraser development's future is uncertain, a local attorney for the developer told the Daily.
