Wawa Opens New Convenience Store In Huntingdon Valley

HUNTINGDON VALLEY, PA — Another Wawa has joined the Philadelphia region.

Wawa opened its latest convenience store on Thursday as festivities included free coffee, free T-shirts for the first 100 customers, a hoagie-building competition between local first responders, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The new Wawa is located at 25 Second Street Pike. It is managed by Christopher Marvel.

The event was attended by state and local officials, local police and fire officials, mascot Wally the Goose, Jim Magee, Wawa's director of store operations, and Wawa Area Manager Bill Mecca.

Wawa is known for its coffee, signature hoagies, and sandwiches such as the Wawa Gobbler, along with made-to-order offerings, allowing customers to select certain toppings and choose various coffee flavors.

Wawa has opened several locations in the past year in Warrington, Newtown Township, and Pottstown, and reopened a New Hope location following renovations.

While new stores are opening in the suburbs, Wawa closed several locations in Center City Philadelphia since 2020, citing safety concerns. As of late 2024, nine Center City stores had closed, with eight of those closures happening since 2020.
