Wawa

Philly loves Wawa. Ever since the first Wawa opened at the corner of MacDade Blvd. and Swarthmore Ave. in Folsom, Pennsylvania over 50 years ago, we’ve had an obsession with this local chain. Wawa isn’t just a convenience store, it’s the convenience store of Philadelphia. It’s where we start our days with freshly brewed coffee and end our nights with late-night hoagies. It’s a beloved and celebrated part of Pennsylvania culture, so it makes perfect sense that we would continue to bring you the latest on Wawa, whether it’s news about the chain’s drive-thru store concept or our ranked lists of the best Wawa sandwiches. Follow along as we pay homage to the iconic Philadelphia brand.
