Wawa Opens Edison Store, Plans Pensacola Expansion

News summary

Wawa opened a new store at 1095 Route 1 in Edison, N.J., on Oct. 1, marking its third location in the city, with grand-opening festivities that began with an 8 a.m. countdown and ribbon-cutting. Festivities featured Wawa mascots Wally Goose and REDD, New York Red Bulls alumnus Luis Robles in Edison, parades, local first responders and the chain’s “Hoagies for Heroes” sandwich-building competition between Edison police and fire departments. Promotions included free T-shirts for the first 100 customers, complimentary any-size hot coffee through Oct. 5, and a $6 Meal Deal (Shorti Hoagie, wrap or chicken sandwich, small fountain drink and Herr’s chips) running through Oct. 12. Wawa is also opening other stores this week, including a Pensacola-area location at 8550 N. Davis Highway slated to open Oct. 3, with similar ribbon-cuttings and grand-opening events. The Pensacola expansion is part of a larger Panhandle plan to open 20–25 stores over the next 8–10 years, with Wawa estimating about $7.5 million invested per store, roughly 140 contractors per build, about 35 associates employed per store, and more than 1,000 long-term jobs created. These openings follow recent Pennsville and other New Jersey store openings as Wawa expands its footprint in Florida and central New Jersey.
