BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Wawa is celebrating its 62nd anniversary on Thursday by offering free coffee at all of its 1200 convenience store locations.
But you'll need the Wawa app to get the free brew.
Wawa Rewards Members can get a free, any-size hot coffee at all locations on Thursday — the company's anniversary day.
To become a Rewards Member, download the Wawa app and click "sign up" to create an account. Then, redeem the free-coffee reward by presenting it at the register or applying it to a mobile order.
“Each year, Wawa Day presents a special opportunity to express our gratitude to the people and partners across our flock and reaffirm our commitment to fulfilling lives, every day,” said Brian Schaller, Wawa President. “As we gear up to celebrate our nation’s semiquincentennial, we’re proud to highlight our own 200-plus years in American business – from our founding family’s roots in business to our first Food Market and to our role today serving our friends and neighbors in 13 states (and D.C.). On April 16, we celebrate and thank our associates and community partners and invite our Wawa Rewards Members to have a cup of coffee on us. Cheers and thank you for 62 years!”
Wawa's roots go back to 1902, when entrepreneur George Wood took an interest in dairy farming. Wood moved from New Jersey and started a processing plant in the community of Wawa — split between Middletown Township and Chester Heights Borough in Delaware County.
As the home milk delivery business declined, George's grandson, Grahame Wood, shifted the business to retail. The first Wawa Food Market opened on April 16, 1964, in Folsom, and the company operates its headquarters in Media.
