Sheetz is already in the Triad and Triangle, so it is just a matter of time before it comes to Charlotte.

There is a Sheetz in Gastonia...this much closer than the Triad/Triangle.

Where is the one in Gastonia? I'm a big Sheetz advocate...
There is one in Statesville too.

Now I'm second guessing myself. I go to both Statesville and Gastonia on occasion and have it pictured in my head as being in Gastonia, but obviously there is no evidence that one exists in Gastonia. I could have sworn that's where it was, but I could quite possibly be picturing the one in Statesville.

There is a Sheetz off of Jake Alexander and 85 in Salisbury, that one might be closer for some

I do love Sheetz, every time I'm in Cleveland visiting my wife's family we end up at Sheetz after going out on the town. It'd be nice to have in Charlotte when I visit my family. After living in the North East for 4 years now, I would love to see a WaWa in the Charlotte area.

I'd like to see a bank of electric car charging stations at the LYNX 485 Station.  Pay-to-use or free, either one.

I don't think this made it onto the official wishlist, but it looks like it is happening:

Charging Stations

Electric vehicle charging stations will be in visible locations serving the Center City and other high employment centers. (The cost to charge at all charging stations will be free for a limited time.) The locations include:

* Charlotte Mecklenburg Government Center Parking Deck - 6 charging stations in the public area
* CATS I-485 Station Park & Ride parking deck - 5 charging stations
* CATS Mallard Creek Park & Ride - 5 charging stations
* CATS Huntersville Gateway Park & Ride - 4 charging stations
* North Tryon Street on-street parking near The Square - 2 charging stations
* South Tryon Street on-street parking near Mint Museum - 2 charging stations
* South Blvd on-street parking near Circle at South End Apartments - 2 charging stations

These installements began early January 2012, and will continue at each location until March, when the stations are scheduled to be turned on for public use.

According to an N&O article, Sheetz is planning a big push into NC, with 30 new stores over the next 3 years in NC, in addition to a distribution center, offices and bakery that they want to build somehwhere between the Triad and Triangle and have open by 2014.  I'd imagine that any big push push into NC would include Charlotte at some point.  They would be nuts to skip over the area.
