What is rutters?

Love birch beer. It's so hard to find in western PA.

Rutters is a regional gas station/convenience store chain in central PA like Sheetz, Wawa, Turkey Hill, Royal Farms, etc.

You and me both. The ice cream selection at Giant Eagle is just staple flavors, and the tea when you can find it is also just like normal and diet. I can't get orange tea unless I visit family back in york or make a trip to altoona. There's a Martin's right off of 22 where you can get turkey hill and martin's potato chips.

And by "central" this means you further west like State College, not just "central" like Harrisburg. Actually looks like Hollidaysburg is the one furthest west.

Yeah here in York there are more Rutters than others, but I’m not sure the extent of their footprint

I know there's one in Waynesboro which is right on the md line. I have a few coworkers up there and they always do their carpool from rutters

Damn, I was actually at that Rutter's a few months ago when out visiting Altoona.

If you're near Pittsburgh I would suggest you check out Grandpa Joe's candy shop. There's one in the strip district and there's also one in Mount Lebanon, but I know they have other locations as well. That's where I go for my craft soda, mainly root beer in my case. They carry a large variety and they have several different brands of Birch Beer on the shelves as well.

Yeah, I've hit grandpa Joe's there and in Ohio when traveling. Erie though is a barren wasteland of birch. Tops has a store brand birch but it's pretty awful.

Rutter's is like a regional South-Central PA entrant, especially in York County, can't speak to their food but they always had good in-house drinks because they also are a drink company. 78 locations in PA
