Want Free Coffee, South Jersey? Consider Stopping By Any Wawa On Thursday

NEW JERSEY — Sometimes, it is the pause for refreshment that refreshes. Or just wakes us up.

Regardless of which type of person you are, Wawa is offering a free cup of any size coffee to all its customers on Thursday, which happens to be the same date in 1958 that it entered the retail business, the company said in a press release.

More than 2 million free cups of coffee are expected to be handed out on that day, the company said.

For those wanting to try something different and do not mind paying for it, Wawa said it also intends to unveil its newest beverage creation, the Day Brightener Popping Bubbles Passionfruit Lemonade beverage, on Thursday.

Wawa will also honor one customer at each of its nearly 1,000 stores as their store’s official Day Brightener "to acknowledge the positivity they spread throughout their communities with the intent of inspiring others to do the same," the press release said.

Wawa also intends to donate gift cards or provide financial awards to the American Red Cross, Check-Out Hunger, Children’s Miracle Network, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Special Olympics, United Service Organization and Meals on Wheels, the company said.
