Free Wawa Coffee Thursday: How To Get Some Near Montgomery County

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — Those who love a freebie will want to hit Wawa on Thursday. That's when the convenience store is recognizing "Wawa Day" to celebrate its birthday with a free self-serve any-size coffee.

There are no Wawas in Montgomery County, but you still have options.

You can head to the newly opened D.C. store located at 1111 19th Street NW, between Dupont and Logan circles just a few blocks north of the White House.

In Prince George's County, there are three Wawa stores: one at 10515 Baltimore Avenue in Beltsville, one at 163 Crain Highway in Upper Marlboro, and one at 1401 Hampton Park Boulevard in Capitol Heights.

Founded April 16, 1964, Wawa opened its first store in Folsom, Pennsylvania. Since then, it has expanded into multiple states, including Florida, Virginia, New Jersey and Delaware as well as Maryland and Washington, D.C.

The first Wawa store sold milk produced in Wawa, Pennsylvania, at a plant started by the Wawa founder's grandfather. "Wawa" is also the Native American word for the Canada goose found in the Delaware Valley around the dairy plant, which is why the company's logo incorporates the bird.

This year the company is flying high, celebrating its 54th birthday. Each person is limited to one coffee of any size, free of charge, as part of the Wawa Day festivities. Find the nearest Wawa stores.
