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 (www.Wawa.com)
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.
