A Sheetz Café is coming to The Corner.

Sheetz Inc. is a family-owned and -operated convenience restaurant and gas station chain with 539 locations throughout Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and West Virginia.

The café will not have gas pumps, but will focus on made-to-order subs, sandwiches and salads, which are ordered through touchscreen terminals.

The company has filed an application for a certificate of appropriateness with the city of Charlottesville for minimal modifications to the exterior of the former Eddy’s Tavern space at 1517 University Ave.

Nick Ruffner, a spokesman for Sheetz, said The Corner location will be the company’s fourth café and will be most similar to the Sheetz Café near Penn State University.

“Right now, the status is that the team is moving through the drawing and permitting stage,” Ruffner said. “I really can’t comment on a projected open date … it’s just early on in the process.”
