Wawa Opening New Warrington Store: Here's What You Need To Know

WARRINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — The new Wawa near the busy intersection of Route 611 and Street Road in Warrington will celebrate its grand opening on Friday, Dec. 20 with an official countdown, a ribbon cutting, and free coffee.

Festivities start at 7:45 a.m. with Wawa General Manager Will Trimarco doing the honors of counting down to the moment when the doors open for the very first time at 8 a.m. The fist 100 customers will receive a free “Wawa 60th Anniversary in Your Era” t-shirt and everyone will be treated to a free any size hot coffee all day.

At 8:30 a.m., customers are invited to participate in a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony with remarks about the impact Wawa has on the community. The ribbon cutting also includes an appearance by Wawa’s mascot Wally Goose, a burst of confetti, and lots of fanfare.

Wawa will also recognize local first responders with its signature Hoagies for Heroes hoagie-building competition where first responders face off to see who can build the most hoagies in three minutes with a large trophy at stake and $1,000 donated to each department’s charity of choice.

The new 5,585-square-foot super store and six pump fueling station replaces the old 3,200-square-foot convenience store built in 1994 at 550 Easton Road. The old store closed in early February and was torn down to make way for the new super store and gas station.

In addition to bringing fresh food and menu items, fuel, convenience and services like surcharge-free ATMs and free air pumps, Wawa makes significant long-term investments in the more than 1,000 local communities it serves, including Warrington.

Every new store generates at least 35 new local long-term jobs per store and becomes a committed community partner supporting local causes and raising millions of dollars chainwide through in-store fundraising campaigns that benefit national and local non-profit partners serving in the community. For many, Wawa stores become a community hub and a place where friends and neighbors connect.

“Since our first store opened its doors 60 years ago, it’s been an honor serving our communities with trusted quality products and convenience to most importantly offering comfort and camaraderie to local friends and neighbors,” said Wawa CEO Chris Gheysens. “We pride ourselves on brightening days and as we continue to grow, we promise to continue Fulfilling Lives at every new store and look forward to serving the community for many more years to come!”

Wawa is planning to open 90 new stores over the next decade. Another new Wawa is under construction in Bucks County along the heavily traveled Newtown Bypass in Newtown Township.

Wawa, a family-owned business based in Delaware County, is known for its built-to-order hoagies, freshly- brewed coffee, the “Sizzli” − a hot breakfast sandwich - dinner items including burgers and fries along with soups, sides and snacks, and a full line of hot, iced and frozen specialty beverages. Wawa also carries more than 6,000 items including groceries, tobacco and candy.
