Perhaps they'll add rotaries to better deal with the traffic?

Wawa is named after a small area in Delaware County,Pennsylvania where they have their corporate headquarters. Wawa to me, usually meant water, like when asking children if they want some wawa.

I don't believe I have ever been to a WaWa. Sounds mighty good. I will have to try it.

However, knowing the TOTV forums, how soon after they open, will there be a complaint about the food, drinks, or customer service and we see the reply, "Well, what did the manager say"?

From Wikipedia: The name of the town Wawa is derived from the Ojibwe word for the Canada goose (taken from The Song of Hiawatha). The company is owned by a family named Woods, one of the largest privately owned companies in this country. Really interesting story, sounds a lot like the Morse story.

Indian names are very unusual - we sold our northern home to a couple from Ho-Ho-Kus and when I saw that on the purchase order I thought it was a joke until I researched the name and found that the median price of a home in Ho-Ho-Kus is $1M.

The only thing I remember about WAWA, it was a good pit stop gas & restroom--can't get excited about any roadside , food -when we did a 8 month cross country tour subway was our bailout food in an emergency--Denny's in Billings, Mt was the absolute worst meal of the entire trip--chicken salad hacked out of a chicken roll

When we first moved here, we met a very nice couple. The wife had an unusual first name. She told us that her mother had given her that name because of her friendship with a Native American. I asked her if she knew what her name meant. She grinned and said, "Yes. It means 'Drinks like fish'."

We drove through a town of WaWa in Canada a few years back. They had that flying goose symbol on a sign.
