The first Wawa in this area opened at U.S. 301 and County Road 466 in Oxford. Since that opening, several Wawas have been built in the area, including one that met with some opposition at U.S. Hwy. 27/441 and County Road 466 in Lady Lake.

Wawa was founded in 1964 and gained a loyal following in the Pennsylvania and New Jersey region. Today the company has $13 billion in annual revenue.
