Free Coffee At Wawa On Thursday, April 13

HALETHORPE, MD — April 13 is "Wawa Day," when the convenience store celebrates its birthday, and customers can get a free self-serve coffee to celebrate.

At all of its stores, the promotion will be available; each person is limited to one coffee of any size, free of charge, as part of the Wawa Day festivities on Thursday, April 13.

During Wawa day, Wawa will host six in-store celebrations – one in every state where it has presence — and the Maryland Wawa Day Celebration will be at the location on Washington Boulevard in Halethorpe. At the event, the Wawa Foundation will present checks to the Food Bank of Maryland, Moveable Feast and Special Olympics.

Founded April 16, 1964, Wawa opened its first store in Folsom, Pennsylvania. It was known as "Wawa Food Market." This year the company is celebrating its 53rd birthday a few days early, and we're not mad about it.

"Wawa Day provides us with a chance to connect with and honor the millions of customers we’ve served over the past 53 years who have been so integral to Wawa’s growth over that time,” Chris Gheysens, Wawa’s President and CEO, said in a statement.
