Wawa will also hold a T-shirt giveaway to the first 100 guests starting at 8 a.m. And, free any-size hot coffee will be available all day through Oct. 5.
The celebration will feature a parade with Wawa associates introducing the chain’s new $6 meal deal (a Shorti hoagie, wrap or chicken sandwich with a small fountain drink and bag of Herr’s chips).
According to Wawa, the new spot includes a built-to-order fresh food kitchen featuring the brand’s signature sandwiches and latest food innovations, as well as coffee, baked goods and specialty beverages. Additionally, it provides packaged goods, fuel services and catering.
With a goal to add 1,800 stores nationwide by 2030, the Pennsylvania-based chain expects to open more than 70 spots in 2025. Within New Jersey, Wawa boasts a footprint of nearly 300 outposts.
