Wawa Opens Newest Store In Delco Wednesday

DREXEL HILL, PA — Wawa opened its newest store right here in Delaware County Wednesday.

The new store, located at 5100 State Road in Drexel Hill, opened at 8 a.m. Wednesday with the help of General Manager Meghan Whitton and Wawa's mascot Wally Goose.

The first 100 customers through the door got limited-edition "Wawa Coffee, Hoagies & Kindness" t-shirts. And, all customers were treated to free coffee at the new store Wednesday.

"At Wawa, our core purpose is fulfilling lives every day, and since our first store opened, we’ve believed that we all have a role in making this world a better place," said Chris Gheysens, Wawa’s CEO. "Our associates deliver experiences and often create emotional connections with customers that go beyond what traditionally happens in a retail environment, and we look forward to welcoming old friends and making new ones in this wonderful community!"

Wawa recognized local first responders with its signature Hoagies for Heroes hoagie-building competition. Local first responders from the Upper Darby Police and Fire Departments competed to see who could build the most hoagies in three minutes. Wawa presented checks for $1,000 to each department’s charity of choice.

This new store will have about 50 employees, all of which are new positions brought to the area through the development of the store.

The store is fully equipped with a built-to-order, fresh food kitchen featuring its signature hoagies and newest food innovations such as the burger.

Wawa fans can also find coffee, the Sizzli, Wawa’s new line of specialty beverages, packaged goods, and fuel.

In addition to the store-level experience, customers can access their Wawa favorites through mobile ordering, curbside pickup, and delivery options. This new store also offers catering.
