Second Wawa In Center City Shuttered

PHILADELPHIA — Another Center City Wawa is now closed.

Wawa shuttered its second Center City store in two days Tuesday.

The store at 12th and Market streets is closed for good.

This closure comes a day after Wawa closed its location at 19th and Market streets.

Wawa cited safety and business reasons for the decision to close both stores.

Employees at the two locations will be offered continued employment at Wawa, according to a statement from the company.

Wawa said the closures do not necessarily impact or limit potential for future stores in Philadelphia.

"We are very sorry we can’t be there for our friends and neighbors at these two locations, but we continue to serve the community from our other nearby stores and our commitment to the greater region remains strong," Wawa said. "Philadelphia is our hometown and that’s something that will never change."
