Great Day for Wawa Fans

PickyPicky3 — Tue, 05 Dec 2023 17:23:25 GMT

If you are a rewards member (all true Wawa fans are), today a classic hoagie or steak sandwich is $6.00 and coffee is free.

I had a buffalo chicken cheesesteak with jalapenos and ranch dressing and a Holiday Blend coffee.

The store was jammed.

I love Wawa. They just opened a new store less than a mile from me. I'm happy.

@Love my grandkids Wawa is primarily in PA & NJ. I think they added some stores in a few other states. They are convenience stores like 7/11 only better.

@haddon9 Thanks. I figured they were local but had no idea where.

Wawa should be coming to Georgia next year. I've also seen them in Florida.

@haddon9 I think Wawa pretty much runs from NJ to FL now.

They have announced promotional tours in the Midwest for next year and plan to be in business there by 2025.

If you hear about a Wawa event in your area, GO.

Wawa is a good company to work for. It's still privately owned and employees acquire shares in the company as part of their pay package. They're growing so fast employees can move into management on their one year anniversary if they're doing OK.

The only WaWa I know is a pedal on a guitar.

Our town has 1,900 residents. We have 3 Wawas and they tried to build another. It is crazy how much they are expanding.

I believe WaWa is opening up 5 or 6 stores in Indiana. I forget now where they'll be located but I'm sure it won't be anywhere close to me. I've always heard great things about WaWa.

Never heard of this place being from the midwest. Reminded me of the old SNL skit that Gilda Radner used to do---Baba Wawa, LOL!!!!!

I'm in NJ and have a Wawa two minutes away and I've never been there. Sounds like I should go. I've never gone because I also have 7-11 and QuickChek two minutes away with easier in/out street access.

@PickyPicky3

Just confirming .... Wawa is a restaurant or just a take out place? Never heard of it.

We just got our first Wegmans.

Now I want a Wawa!

Re: Great Day for Wawa Fans

@Tinkrbl44 A large convenience store with fresh made sandwiches, gas pumps and multiple coffee flavors. No tables.

Wawa is in the process of closing its older stores with no gas pumps.

People go into their local Wawa so often it's like an extension of your home. And the employees are very friendly.

Thanks @PickyPicky3! We will take advantage of this later for sure - it's a busy night for both of us!

I worked with WAWA on school fundraisers for a few years and they were amazing! They went out of their way to help us. We were selling coupon books for free shorti hoagies. When DS was part of a traveling vocal group I recommended them. We used them then too.

A bit of history I learned: WAWA is named after the town not far from Philadelphia where the first store was located. The town Wawa is named after the Lenape tribe's word for "Canada goose," which is the symbol of the store.

They do a lot for their communities.
