Supposedly one is going in at intersection of 466 and 441/27. Just a little north of 466A.

Just curious as to how long ago that was. The reason I ask is because if it was many years ago for example, I would agree with you. For a long time they were just another quick stop shop like most 7-11's and the like - no gas, just snacks, limited groceries, milk, etc. But in more recent years when they added gas pumps, the stores also became much larger and now they sell a lot more products.

Wawa does have it's own dairy farm. In fact, it was WaWa milk that got me to finally drink non-fat milk. It is so much better than most non-fat brands. You also might want to try their lemonade - delicious, just the right amount of sweet and tart.

Oh, and watch for free coffee day! I think it's only once (or maybe twice) a year. Also, if you get an app on your phone, they offer additional freebies and discounts which I believe change from month to month.

Get their credit card--25 cents off a gal of gas first 100 gals, the 5 cents off after that--$25.00--found money

CHORIZO?? I'm there!

Consider it to be on 301 it will make it sound nearer to you. If this one goes over, and it appears that it will, I'm sure there will be more somewhere.

Can't do with computer controlling everything and 10.5:1 compression. Can use octane boost with the 89 however. Better than ethanol.

Gasoline without ethanol gets 10% better gas mileage and the biggest thing without ethanol is it does not corrode aluminum.

Actually it is about 3% better gas mileage but the cost is more than 3% higher. I have had several cars with aluminum blocks and heads and no issues with 10% ethanol. Whatever floats your boat ...

I have been there 3 times. I was driving past, had to stop. Breakfast sandwich better than MickeyDs, or metro for that matter. Order sandwich how you want it and about 15 choices of what to put on it. Their strawberry lemonade is my favorite, but does have a short expiration date. Yep I need to go home before this becomes a weekly stop.

We three went to WaWa tonight on Mike O'D's recommendation.

Mike was very right. We each had different things and all had a chocolate shake. The shake was the best one I have had in The Villages. Creamy but not cloyingly sweet. Yum.

Helene had chicken strips, I had the chicken burrito and Hank had the Chicken Parm. All very good and well prepared. The interior of the store was NOT what I had expected, very nice, and not a gas station like candy filled place. We enjoyed the experience VERY much.

We will be back.
