The new Sheetz out at the intersection of 15 and 54 opened recently.  It’s located on the site of the former A-1 Wheels and Deals.  It’s open 24 hours a day.Sheetz offers customers free wi-fi and lots of food options.  The indoor and outdoor dining areas are closed for the time being.  There is a drive-thru, which is the only time in my life that Montgomery has ever had one.  It makes me curious to know if that’s the first one the town has ever had.  Various mom and pop restaurants have come and gone over the years, but if the town has ever had a drive-thru before, I’m not aware of it.If you know of a former restaurant in Montgomery that had a drive-thru window, please enlighten me!
