Sheetz introduced Buzz Beanz, its own-label line of ready-to-drink energy coffees, featuring a formulated caffeine boost in a coffee format. The lineup debuted Aug. 1 and is available in all Sheetz stores. Each flavor delivers 180 milligrams of caffeine and includes B vitamins.
The range comprises five flavors: Chocolate Banana, Blueberry Muffin, Cinnamon Churro, Mocha and Chocolate Peanut Butter. The beverages come in 11-ounce cans priced at $2.99 each, or two for $5 with the MySheetz Rewards app. The product positions itself as a coffee-energy beverage, providing a set caffeine level to offer a more intentional energy or alertness experience than regular coffee.
Buzz Beanz blends familiar coffee flavors with a predictable energy dose, making caffeination more portable and consistent. The cans give busy consumers a grab-and-go option with dessert-style flavoring and functional B vitamins, and the lineup strengthens Sheetz's in-store beverage assortment.
