For many of us the villages is about to get even better than it is-I just read where a WAWA is coming to Rt 466 and 301. To many northerners this is great news. I for one can't wait!

This west coast girl has become a WaWa fan! Great news!

[Phanatic Luvr]

Fantastic news! But I am not seeing it on their website as a future location. How did you learn of this?

There is a WaWa in Clermont. Please explain to me what is so special about these convenience stores?

[jimmemac]

For some people it is the food that they make, for some it is their coffee and for others they usually have the best gas prices. No matter where they are or when you go they will always be busy but they are very good about getting you in and out also. For me personally it is their coffee and breakfast sandwiches - they are to die for.

WAWA. Great news. Love their coffee.

They have been sprouting up all over Orlando in the last few years and I will go out of my way to go to one.

To answer your question, one of the kewl things (in my mind) is that they have a system where you can order sandwiches from a computer and then it will be made to order while you wait, without standing in a line. In addition, their stores are clean, well lighted and roomy.

They also have an excellent selection of pre-made sandwiches, healthy snacks and a fountain drink machine that once you get the hang of it, dispenses just about every type and concoction you could ever think of. And being a coffee lover, they have a great selection with a setup away from the dispensers that makes it easy to put anything you choose in it.

If the rumor is true (and I really hope it is), they better make sure they have a huge parking lot (most of them do anyway) because I can see it as being hugely popular at that location.

Not a rumor. Was covered in todays 6/28 Daily Sun.

[2BNTV]

I'm in favor of any business coming to TV, that benefits it's residents.

I never frequented Wawa's in CT when i was there but several people I knew loved them. I'll have to try them when they arrive.

Bad news for Murphy Express!

Be interesting to see what it does to the traffic at that intersection. That land will be annexed into Wildwood.

I have read some great reviews of this chain and hope to visit it as soon as it opens to give the other places some competetion.

Jimmemac, since you're from Havre de Grace then you probably had stopped at the WaWa in Abingdon, Maryland a few times. I lived right across the street behind the shopping center. When that place opened in 2004 it was an immediate hit. However, circling the gas pumps waiting for a spot was not fun. I did like their sub sandwiches, especially since you entered all your ingredients on a touch screen and had them made to your tastes. I eventually moved to a different station, that place was so busy it was almost like bumper cars.

My favorite subs here is Jersey Mike's over in front of Target and I spoke with Randy their Manager just last week. He said they probably won't put a store at 44 and Morse in the new Publix shopping Center, but rather on 466 in front of Walmart by NYPD Pizza. He couldn't tell me anymore details. They will be close to the new WaWa and Jersey Mike's has the best subs around in my opinion. So I guess I won't go there as much if that happens.
