Rutter's Is The Only Pennsylvania Convenience Store Chain With Starting Salary Of $18

Forget about Sheetz and Wawa, because Rutter's is paying new employees a living wage — something its competitors in the state cannot claim.

Starting January 1, 2024, the popular convenience store raised the minimum starting salary to $18 (note that it still shows as $17.50 on the company's website). 

"Providing competitive wages is a foundational part of being a great place to work and shows our long-term investment in our employees and communities," Suzanne Cramer, the vice president of human resources at Rutter’s, said in a statement.

Wages aren't just going up to entice new hires, because the company has also implemented a 7% increase for all current employees. 

We reported on Sheetz last company-wide wage increase — which was nearly three years ago. 

Since 2019, Rutters' starting rate has increased by nearly 75%, the York-based chain explained.
