Here’s the history of Wawa

It started out as a convenience store - grab a gallon of milk on the way home. A long time ago, it was actually a dairy farm, that eventually sold its milk in stores.
They then realized they should add gas pumps. You’re getting milk, quick fill up.
Then the gas pumps took over - i.e. went from a store with 8 pumps to stores with 12 or 16 or 20 pumps, they sold off stores where the real estate could handle a large number of pumps.

Then, they pivoted to a fast food joint, with a large number of gas pumps.
You can get sandwiches, soup, drinks, etc, while filling up.

Their sandwiches (Hoagies or Italian Sandwiches to us from Philly) would not make the top 100 Philadelphia hoagies, but they are consistent.
It’s basically a McDonalds with gas pumps.
Wawa is actually the 3rd largest retailer of food in the Philadelphia region.
