ADAMS TWP — A representative of Sheetz explained the company’s policies for alcohol sales at a public hearing for a liquor license transfer at a new Sheetz location at the intersection of Route 228 and Three Degree Road.

The hearing was held ahead of the Adams Township meeting on Monday night.

The hearing was a chance for the company to present its case in favor of the transfer of a restaurant liquor license from the city of Butler to the in-progress Sheetz at 1000 Dori Drive, across from the Mars Area Middle School and Mars Area High School campuses.

Lawyer Mark Kozar of Flaherty and O’Hara said Sheetz has a universal card checking policy for all customers who buy alcohol.

“This policy removes any gray area from the sales associates. They card everybody,” Kozar said. “Sheetz uses a card scanner to verify the age of the person, and these card scanners will also detect fake cards.”
