Sheetz Run: Only Up! Fortnite Map

An iconic Mid-Atlantic convenience store chain now appears in one of the country’s most-played video games.

Sheetz is debuting a custom map, “Sheetz Run: Only Up!,” within Fortnite where players worldwide can take characters on an action-packed “Sheetz Run.”

The map, which is available now, offers “players the chance to navigate a massive, twisted gauntlet filled with their favorite Sheetz menu items.”

Sheetz says it’s one of the first convenience stores to have an exclusive map in Fortnite.

Sheetz is holding a month-long challenge to celebrate this feat with a $25,000 prize pool at stake. From Jan. 24 to Feb. 23m Fortnite players can record their quickest runs and submit them to a Discord server. The 25 fastest Sheetz Runs by the end of the challenge will split the prize pool. The official prize amounts are as follows:

  • 1st place - $10,000
  • 2nd place - $5,000
  • 3rd place - $3,000
  • 4th place - $2,000
  • 5th place - $1,000
  • 6th-10th place - $500
  • 11th-25th place - $100 Fortnite V-Bucks Card

Ryan Sheetz says the company is always looking for innovative ways to engage with Sheetz customers.

“This opportunity allows us to amplify our brand to individuals worldwide and connect with a new generation of players, showcasing our brand in a fun, adventurous and immersive way. I can’t wait to dive into this map with my character while snacking on some epic Made-To-Order food,” he said.
