Wawa, Inc. will open its newest store at 120 Corporate Boulevard, Glasgow, on December 15th.
At Wawa store openings, the first 100 customers through the door on December 15th will receive a limited-edition “Wawa Coffee, Hoagies & Kindness” t-shirt while supplies last. All customers get free coffee on December 15th.
“At Wawa, our core purpose is fulfilling lives every day, and since our first store opened, we’ve believed that we all have a role in making this world a better place,” said Chris Gheysens, Wawa’s CEO. “Our associates deliver experiences and often create emotional connections with customers that go beyond what traditionally happens in a retail environment, and we look forward to welcoming old friends and making new ones in this wonderful community.”
With its signature Hoagies for Heroes hoagie-building competition, Wawa will also recognize local first responders. Local first responders from Delaware State Police Troop 2 and Aetna Hose Hook & Ladder Co, Station 9 will compete to see who can build the most hoagies in three-minutes. Wawa will conclude the Hoagies for Heroes competitions by presenting checks for $1,000 to each department’s charity of choice.
Tyler Heck will serve as general manager of the new Newark Wawa store, leading a team of approximately 50 associates.
The store features a built-to-order, fresh food kitchen featuring it hoagies (80 million sold a year) and other mainstays such as the Sizzli, Wawa’s hot breakfast sandwich.
Wawa plans to open up to 66 new stores throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Florida regions in 2023. The Glasgow location is the 65th store to open among the chain’s six-state operating areas of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and Washington, D.C. The chain also announced its future expansion to the Florida Panhandle, Alabama, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.
