Sheetz unveils a new donut collection

Looking for something new to satisfy our sweet tooth? Sheetz may have the answer.

The convenience chain this week launched a new collection of donuts in eight flavors — available at all of the convenience chain’s more than 680 locations in Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia.

In announcing the new product line, Lee Ann Adams, manager of bakery development for Sheetz and master baker of Sheetz’s new donut line said the donuts are made with “premium ingredients and vibrant flavors.”

“While staying true to the original charm of these classic treats, we’ve infused a sense of refinement, elegance, and innovation that cannot be found anywhere else,” she said.

Sheetz’s new gourmet donuts are handcrafted with “layers of buttery, sweet European dough, and then fried and glazed with sweet sugar syrup,” according to a press release. They are available in the following flavors: Peanut Butter Cup; Cookies N Cream; Strawberry Shortcake; Vanilla Galaxy; Turtle Brownie; Coconut Chocolate; Apple Fest Fritter; and Classic Glazed.

The donuts are shipped daily to all Sheetz locations, the company said.

Prior to working for Sheetz, Adams was an associate professor of baking and pastry at The Culinary Institute of America. She has won several awards for her work including The Pennsylvania State University’s Reiber Award for Outstanding Customer Service and has competed for a place on the United States Bread Baking team for the Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie (World Cup of Bread Baking) in Paris, France.
