An existing Wawa is there as part of Pebble Beach Plaza, but a Super Wawa would be freestanding and offer a gas station as well.
Requirements like traffic counts have been completed already, according to Pipi.
"This Wawa will not only relieve traffic congestion for those who live on the west, it will also give easy access to gas for those who live on the east side of the Parkway," he said.
It will also boost Barnegat's tax base, he said.
