Customers who visit the more than 700 Wawa stores in Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia will have access to free Wi-Fi, thanks to a new collaboration between the company and Comcast.
Comcast Business’s Enterprise Solutions unit installed the managed public/private Wi-Fi network, along with managed broadband, and the team will support both services for Wawa.
To access Xfinity WiFi at Wawa locations, customers should logon to the “xfinitywifi” SSID in the list of available networks on their devices. There is no charge to use the service and it is available to everyone.
Xfinity has Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the region that are open to Internet customers of the company.
“At Wawa we exist to fulfill customers lives every day, and part of this commitment means creating meaningful customer connection points that add the highest level of value and convenience,” said Carol Jensen, chief marketing officer for Wawa. “We’re excited to team up with Comcast to now offer Wi-Fi in all of our stores. Customers will now enjoy the optimal environment for doing everything from utilizing their Wawa app to enjoy rewards and purchase products to connecting with their friends and neighbors.”
The Comcast Business’s Enterprise Solutions team designed and built an enterprise-grade Managed Wi-Fi and broadband solution that includes public Xfinity WiFi for Wawa customers and private access Wi-Fi for associates and vendors. This included Wawa locations in and out of Comcast’s traditional service areas.
While Xfinity WiFi is available to all visitors in Wawa locations, the Xfinity WiFi network also includes more than 14 million hotspots that are accessible to the majority of Xfinity Internet customers for no additional charge.
Xfinity WiFi is the largest Wi-Fi network in the country and is present in many businesses, transportation hubs, sports and entertainment venues, shopping districts and parks throughout Comcast’s service areas. For more information a visit www.xfinity.com/wifi.
