No WaWa!
 

The Lady Lake Town Commission voted down a WaWa gas station in the town limits. Reasons given included having too many gas stations/convenience stores as it is. However, as anyone from South Jersey can tell you, WaWa's isn't just any old gas station. Their food and drinks are superior to what you would find at any other convenience store. Too bad. If you want to WaWa, you'll have to drive down to Clermont!

I thought there was a WAWA sign, saying coming soon

WAWA coming soon sign at corner of 466 and 301 in Oxford.

.

we need one down on rt 44 , down by Brownwood, maybe a mc ds to.

Man I'm totally disappointed. I was introduced to WAWA when I worked in the Woodbury, NJ area. Great coffee, donuts, and sandwiches. Man that really sucks......

I have to wonder if this is an incorrect rumor.

Someone on the on line news wrote an opinion piece about WAWA coming and Corporate GREED prevailing.

Here is a link to the agenda for last night's meeting of the Lady Lake Commission. Nothing is mentioned about voting down the WaWa.

Sorry, was not a vote, but a workshop of town commissioners on Monday where opposition was expressed to a new Lady Lake Wawa by commissioneers, local business owners and residents. Please refer to the article in today's (Tuesday's) Villages Daily Sun om page A12.

How about one by the new Lowe's and Aldi's on 466A?

That isn't the town of Lady Lake.

It's already been stated that a Circle K is coming to the Lowe's Shopping Center.

At the Town Commission workshop, in opposition to the proposed Wawa store, it was pointed out that there were already 5 gas stations within a two mile stretch of Lady Lake. I guess that reasoning doesn't apply to mattress stores! Must be at least 5 of those in a two mile stretch! Everyone needs gas at least once every 1 to 2 weeks; you get a mattress once every 8 years! Go figure!

Agreed!!

Never been to a WaWa.

My reply is to post #2

Noticed in today's DS the Town Council approved moving forward with the WAWA plans by a 3-2 vote.
