This sort of info is often used as a basis for a "permit" dot on supercharge.info. Are people (locals) happy for this to be added or is it not definite enough?

It is a very busy corridor, so I can see more options only as a good thing.

If this report is accurate, this is more about Sheetz wanting to get in on the action than Tesla trying to strategically cover travel corridors. Which is awesome by the way. As soon as it starts to become clear to other convenience outlets that the Sheetz strategy is starting to make a dent in their business suddenly the economics will shift and these stores will be paying Tesla to site Superchargers at their stores.
Even so, the location does make good sense. Along the I-85 corridor, Greensboro is significantly out of the way and this cuts a nearly 100 mile gap between Burlington and Charlotte almost perfectly in half. I have to say that Sheetz is really good about determining ideal sites for Superchargers (e.g. Lynchburg, VA).
I will say it's probably premature to add to supercharger.info until there is a bit more concrete evidence of a permit/construction.

With the massive build out of QuikTrip convenience stores (gas stations) in this area, my wife and I have been in awe of how shortsighted they are by ignoring EV drivers altogether.
They started the push into Carolina's in the early 2010's and specifically covering the Charlotte Metro area in the past 5 years, you'd think they at least consider DC charging stations of some sort.

Good find! Looks like that long one is a front-in-with-trailer bay, there is a similar one at the Quartzsite site.

The Gettysburg, PA supercharger has a similar deep charging stall (actually two): Supercharger- Gettysburg, PA
I may have had better info than you thought or I could share

Well yes, it is different in that it's a 2-car stall, but it's extremely deep (maybe not evident from the post I linked to) and slots into an awkwardly angled separate area similar to what it appears that Lexington has done.
Here is a better picture

This is a trailer hitch friendly spot, designed to be used by pulling your car in nose first. If you’re pulling a trailer you don’t have to unhitch the trailer in order to charge. Also useful if you have be a hitch mounted bike or luggage rack.
