FAIRLESS HILLS, PA —Wawa will hold back-to-back grand openings of two new convenience stores in Bucks County this week with the first on Wednesday on Lincoln Highway.
The grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Wawa at 530 Lincoln Hwy. takes place at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday with doors opening at 8 a.m.
Meanwhile, Wawa will also hold a grand opening of another convenience store at 3659 N. Easton Rd., in Doylestown at 8:30 a.m. Thursday with doors opening at 8 a.m.
The first 100 customers through the door at each store on opening day will receive a limited-edition “Wawa Coffee Hoagies Kindness” T-shirts, while supplies last. All customers will get free coffee at each store on opening day.
Friends and neighbors are invited at 7:45 a.m. to count down when the doors open for the very first time at 8 a.m. with free any size cup of coffee, followed by ribbon cutting ceremonies, including Wawa’s mascot Wally Goose, oversized scissors, red ribbon, confetti, and fanfare.
Falls Township also opened the first drive-through Wawa in the state in the Morrisville section on West Trenton Avenue several years ago.
The stores are fully equipped with a built-to-order, fresh food kitchen featuring its signature hoagies (80 million hoagies sold annually) and newest food innovations such as the ever-popular burger: Wawa coffee (195 million cups sold annually); the Sizzliä, Wawa’s hot breakfast sandwich; Wawa’s new line of specialty beverages (hot, cold, iced and frozen); the Wawa Bakery; and Wawa’s beverage line of dairy products, juices, and teas, plus packaged goods and fuel services, among other amenities.
In addition to the store-level experience, customers can access their Wawa favorites through mobile ordering, curbside pickup, delivery options, and its newest Catering Online offer where customers can order favorite Wawa foods for their upcoming events at: www.wawacatering.com.
Last September,Falls Township supervisors approved a liquor license transfer, clearing the way for alcohol sales at the Wawa. Wawa did not include that alcohol would be sold there in its press release.
During the grand opening, Wawa will also recognize local first responders with its Hoagies for Heroes hoagie-building competition.
Local first responders 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.
Jessie Mabone will serve as general manager of the Fairless Hills Wawa store. He will lead a team of about 50 associates, all of which are new positions brought to the area through the development of the store.
Wawa plans to open up to 76 new stores throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and Florida in 2023.
The grand opening of the new Bucks County stores will mark the 12th and 13th stores to open among the chain’s six-state operating area of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Florida. and Washington, D.C.
The chain also announced its future expansion to Florida Panhandle, Alabama, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.
