Chase Bank To Replace Old Wawa

A Chase bank will replace the old on the corner of Lacey Road and Manchester Avenue, Zoning Officer Nicole Casale said.

The bank received board approval in May and a resolution was adopted in June but a site plan has yet to be submitted, she said.

Jeremiah Delaney, Senior Project Manager, said they plan to demolish the old Wawa and build a new Chase branch, which will be their most current prototype design.

Delaney could not provide a date for when J.P. Morgan will go before the Planning Board again.

They anticipate starting construction in early March 2012 and hope to open in late August 2012, he said.

Currently, the closest Chase bank is located on Main Street in Toms River.
