Have you ever craved a delicious, customizable sandwich at 3 AM or a refreshing cup of coffee during a road trip? If so, you’re in the right place! Welcome to Wawa, where convenience meets quality and every visit feels like coming home.
Our Story
Wawa’s journey began in 1803, not as a food market, but as an iron foundry in New Jersey. Fast forward to 1902, George Wood turned Wawa into a dairy farm in Pennsylvania, producing high-quality milk that became a staple in the community. The name “Wawa” comes from the local Native American word for the Canada Goose, which is why our logo features a majestic goose in flight.
In 1964, Grahame Wood, George’s grandson, opened the first Wawa Food Market in Folsom, Pennsylvania, to provide fresh dairy products directly to consumers. The idea took off, and Wawa evolved into a beloved convenience store chain, known for its delicious food, friendly service, and clean, welcoming atmosphere.
