About
Wawa, Inc.
Wawa,
Inc., a privately held company, began in 1803 as an iron foundry in
New Jersey. Toward the end of the 19th Century, owner George Wood took
an interest in dairy farming and the family began a small processing plant
in Wawa, PA in 1902. The milk business was a huge success, due to its quality,
cleanliness and “certified” process. As home delivery of milk declined
in the early 1960s, Grahame Wood, George’s grandson, opened the first Wawa
Food Market in 1964 as an outlet for dairy products. Today, Wawa is your
all day, every day stop for freshly prepared foods, beverages, coffee,
fuel services and surcharge-free ATMs. Wawa stores are located in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Florida and Washington, D.C.
The stores offer a large fresh foodservice selection, including Wawa brands
such as custom prepared hoagies, freshly-brewed coffee, hot breakfast sandwiches,
specialty beverages and an assortment of soups, sides and snacks. Forbes.com
Ranks Wawa as #29 of America’s Largest Private Companies in 2021 and #12
on Forbes 100 Halo List in 2022. For more information, visit us on www.Wawa.com
