Default Wawa

A previous thread about the new Wawa stations coming to the area elicited several comments questioning why some are so thrilled to see them here. I ran across this and thought it explained that well.

Ditto.

I'm not looking forward to easily getting out of it though.

Then again, just about anyplace is easier to get in and out of...than the Kangaroo on the corner of Rainey Trail and 301.

And soon at 27/441 and 466. And maybe 441 near the Summerfield WalMart, not sure about that one though.

Thank you for your post answering my question about the Wawa mystique. The link wouldn't work for me, but googled it and found this, which might be the same article you referenced. Impressive! Now I will join the cadre of people excited about the new Wawa!

Most people are assuming that WAWA food and service will be exactly what they were used to back home. What it the WAWA company realizes that they don't need to be that good around The Villages?

I miss the Quik Trip's (the Wawa's of the Midwest) up in Missouri. They had began installing deli's in their stores about a year before we left; they offered personalized sandwiches, pizza's and other types of food. I look forward to trying the Wawa's.

None of the WAWAs will be cart accessible. I, who has not experienced WAWA, will probably continue to miss out.

We have a car, but it is not worth the drive. Everyone who is excited about WAWA opening, great for you. I hope you enjoy going there. I’ll just continue to miss out.

I’ll get excited if they get New York pizza & bagels trucked in. Until then, I’ll stay away.

That will happen when they get Wawa’s milk and ice cream brought in.
