Wawa Liquor License Hearing Monday In Hatboro

HATBORO, PA —Wawa is requesting a liquor license transfer for its location under construction off Horsham Road.

Officials said Friday that a public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. Aug. 21 at the Borough Council meeting at Loller Academy for residents to provide comments and recommendations about Wawa's intent to transfer liquor license No. R-7204 to 412 S. York Rd. location.

The council may take action to approve the request by adopting an appropriate resolution following the hearing.

The public is invited and encouraged to attend and will be given an opportunity to provide comments regarding this proposed transfer.

Work is progressing on the new 5,585-square-foot Wawa convenience store, a store that has caused controversy for years after the borough lost a court battle to try and prevent it.

Crews are at work building the foundation for the store, with plans calling for six gas pumping stations and 54 parking spots.

The Wawa isn't expected to be completed until the end of the year with the building taking at least six months to construct, borough officials said.

A Wawa on Horsham Road in Horsham Township serves alcohol.

Borough officials ask that those attending the hearing are residents or property owners in order to speak during the hearing.

At the conclusion of the hearing, the council will consider approval of the transfer, unless it deems additional time is required for consideration and discussion, in which case it will hold an additional public hearing at another meeting at an announced date and time for that purpose.

Anyone with questions or concerns regarding the application should contact Borough Manager Diane Hegele directly at 215-443-9100 or via email at dhegele@myhatboro.org.
