Sheetz, one of America’s leading grocery chains, announced an expanded partnership with digital payments platform Flexa to accept cryptocurrency payments at more than 750 of its locations in the Mid-Atlantic region.
The company announced the move on Thursday, marking a significant step in integrating digital assets into mainstream retail.
The expansion follows a successful initial rollout at select Sheetz locations. All 750+ stores will now support payments through Flexa, allowing customers to use a variety of digital currencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and the stablecoin USDC. Customers who join the My Sheetz Rewardz loyalty program can also earn rewards when they shop with these alternative payment methods.
“This provides Sheetz customers with an easier, more seamless way to pay using stablecoins like USDC, as well as other popular digital currencies,” the company said. The development positions Sheetz as one of the first major grocery and restaurant chains in the United States to adopt cryptocurrency payments on such a large scale.
Ryan Sheetz, the company’s vice president of marketing and supply chain, expressed excitement about the expanded payment options. “This partnership aligns with our commitment to meeting customer demand for innovation and modern payment solutions,” he said.
