New Wawa Opens Thursday In North Jersey

NORTH JERSEY - Calling all Wawa fans: the cult-favorite convenience chain’s newest store opens Thursday in the Garden State with freebies galore.

The new location is in North Bergen at 7408 Tonnelle Ave. The store will be giving out free coffee all day and a free tee shirt for the first 100 customers, as well as host a ribbon cutting ceremony at 9 a.m.

The 5,051-square-foot location officially opens at 8 a.m. It will join the likes of Starbucks, Target, Lowe’s and Home Depot in the area, alongside a new Chick-fil-A that is currently under construction.

The grand ceremony will honor local first responders from the North Bergen Police Department and North Hudson Regional Fire & Rescue with a “Hoagies for Heroes” tribute.

The new location is only the second Wawa in Hudson County, according to Hoboken Girl. The other store can be found in Kearny.

The new store is part of Wawa’s massive eight-year expansion plan, which seeks to open another 1,800 locations by 2030. While many of the new planned stores are set to be located between Virginia and Florida, there’s a slew of new stores already in the cards for New Jersey.
