Sheetz will debut its The Big Pig menu across all its store locations on October 28, 2026. This new lineup marks the return of a customer-requested item that was originally retired in 2020.
Why it matters
The company is reintroducing the BBQ pork options to celebrate National Pork Month this October. This expansion follows the opening of a $169 million food manufacturing facility in Findlay, Ohio, which will support growth throughout the Midwest.
The new menu features six ounces of seasoned pulled pork per recipe, with sandwiches starting at $6.99. Sheetz currently operates 140 locations across Ohio, employing over 4,000 residents in the state.
