âRutter s Announces More Than $100 Million in Capital Investments for 2021
YORK, Pa. â Rutter s is gearing up for aggressive growth in 2021, with plans to spend more than $100 million allocated to new-builds and remodeling existing convenience stores.
The new capital investment includes four new-builds in Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia, in addition to seven sites currently under construction. Collectively, Rutter s new-builds will exceed 10,000 square feet.
The York-based retailer also anticipates adding to its existing gaming operation in Pennsylvania â which currently stands at 17 locations â with eight new gaming rooms planned over the next two years.
The first new c-store to open in 2021 will be in Gap, Pa., on March 16. The 10,200-square-foot c-store will feature the retailer s award-winning food and beverage menus, Rutter s 29-degree Beer Cave, seating for 30, large restrooms, 14 fueling positions and five dedicated truck diesel lanes.
That means the starting hourly wage sits at $12.50, which increases to $13 after three months. The additional pay, along with performance increases, led Rutter’s to increase total wages by 15 percent for 2021, according to a company release.
“The standard at Rutter’s is to always have the best people and best facilities in the convenience industry,” Rutter’s president and CEO Scott Hartman said. “After the challenges of 2020, we knew that our best investments for 2021 would continue to be in our great people and communities, along with our stores. I’m thrilled that we’re in a position to make these investments and excited for the future of our business.”
