Sheetz accepts EBT cards for SNAP-eligible purchases at all its convenience stores. You can use your card in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Michigan. However, acceptance varies for online orders and hot food items.

How To Use EBT At Sheetz

You can use your EBT card for in-store purchases of eligible groceries like bread, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. Most Sheetz locations, including self-checkout kiosks, are equipped to handle EBT payments. Look for the SNAP logo on the payment terminal.

Your EBT card cannot be used for non-food items, alcohol, tobacco, or hot, ready-to-eat foods. This includes Sheetz's Made-to-Order (MTO) hot items like burgers, fries, and hot coffee. Sheetz does not participate in the Restaurant Meals Program (RMP).

Sheetz does not accept EBT for orders placed through its website or app, so it is not an option for curbside pickup. However, you can order for delivery through DoorDash from participating Sheetz locations and pay with your EBT card for eligible items.

How To Pay With EBT At Sheetz

Paying with your EBT card is straightforward, but it helps to know how to handle transactions that include both SNAP-eligible and ineligible items. Here are a few things to remember.

• If you are buying both eligible groceries and ineligible items like gas, swipe your EBT card first. The system should automatically apply your SNAP funds to the correct items. You will need another payment method for the remaining balance.

• You may be able to purchase Made-to-Order (MTO) items if you order them cold. For example, a sub that is not toasted often qualifies as an eligible food item.

• To find a participating store, use the official Sheetz store locator. You can also confirm participation by using the USDA SNAP Retailer Locator tool online before you shop.

What Is The RMP And Who's Eligible

The Restaurant Meals Program (RMP) is a state-level SNAP option. It allows certain recipients to buy ready-to-eat meals at approved restaurants with their EBT benefits, especially if they cannot easily store or prepare their own food.

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify, your entire household must consist of members who are 60 or older, permanently disabled, or experiencing homelessness. Spouses of qualifying individuals are also eligible. Your eligibility is coded directly onto your EBT card.

When you use your card at a participating restaurant, the system checks for this code. If your household is not flagged as eligible for the RMP, the transaction will be declined.

Participating States

The RMP is a state-run program, so it is not available in every state. As of mid-2025, the following states offer the program to their eligible residents.

• Arizona

• California

• Illinois

• Maryland

• Massachusetts

• Michigan

• New York

• Rhode Island

• Virginia

You do not receive extra SNAP funds for the RMP. You use your regular monthly allotment to purchase meals. States decide on vendor rules and pricing, but they must get USDA approval.

Restaurants must apply through their state agency and the USDA to participate. You can find approved locations using the official USDA SNAP Retailer Locator online tool before you head out.

What Can You Buy With An EBT Card At Sheetz?

With your EBT card, you can purchase a wide range of SNAP-eligible groceries and convenience items. This includes pantry staples, cold drinks, snacks, and even some of Sheetz's signature made-to-order foods.

• Pantry staples and packaged foods: You can buy items like bread, cereal, pasta, and canned goods. Fresh produce, meat, and dairy products are also eligible for purchase with your SNAP benefits.

• Cold beverages and snacks: Your card covers cold drinks like soda, juice, bottled water, and milk. Packaged snacks such as chips and crackers are also included.

• Energy drinks: Most energy drinks are eligible as long as they display a "Nutrition Facts" label on the packaging. Drinks with a "Supplement Facts" label are not covered.

• Cold Made-to-Order (MTO) items: You can purchase Sheetz's customizable MTO subs and sandwiches if you order them cold and untoasted. These items are treated as eligible grocery foods.

• Other convenience items: Fountain drinks and slushies intended for take-home consumption are typically eligible. You can also buy bags of ice with your EBT card.
