The Pittsburgh Knights are happy to know that their partnership with Sheetz chain of convenience stores has been extended until 2023.
In 2019 Sheetz was bestowed the title of Knight’s ‘Champion Partner’ but the latest agreement means that they are the esport team’s official convenience store. With 600 stores on the Eastern half of America, Sheetz is among the fastest growing family-owned and run convenience store chains in the United States. The chain has previously ventured into the gaming and esports world. Sheetz has streamed on Twitch and, in collaboration with the Knights, hosted a VALORANT charity tournament to raise funds towards Covid-19 relief.
Apart from retaining its ‘Champion Partner’ status and logo placement on the Knights’ jersey, Sheetz has some exciting events in the pipeline alongside the Knights. The Sheetz and Knights partnership plan to host quite a range of online tournaments and live circuits throughout the coming year all to create a truly unforgettable fan experience.
Knights president James O’Connorn said: We are so proud to be partnered with Sheetz, “Not only do they offer an outstanding product and experience – everyone at the Knights loves making Sheetz runs, but we admire their values as an organization. Like us, they are committed to their communities and always seek ways to give back and innovate.
Ryan Sheetz, Sheetz AVP of Brand Strategies said: As Sheetz has increased its involvement with the esports community; the Pittsburgh Knights have been a phenomenal partner. “This partnership makes so much sense because we know that gamers are in and out of our stores on a daily basis – in fact, they are some of our best and most passionate customers. We are looking forward to continuing our work with the Knights over the next few years.
