Wawa is inviting customers to a grand opening event at the new convenience store and gas station at County Road 466A and Powell Road.
Opening day at the new Wawa will be Thursday, Aug. 14.
Festivities start at 7:45 a.m. with Wawa General Manager Laurie Wood doing the honors of counting down the moment when the doors open for the very first time at 8 a.m., free T-shirts for the first 100 customers, as supplies last, and free any size hot coffee.
Immediately following at 8:30 a.m., customers are invited to participate in a brief ceremony to celebrate the new store. The program kicks off with an entertaining parade with Wawa associates, also known as “Craving Tamers,” introducing the return of the retailer’s popular $5 Big Breakfast Deal campaign, which includes any Sizzli, any size hot or iced coffee, and a crispy hash brown for $5. The ceremony concludes with Wawa’s signature Hoagies for Heroes competition between first responders and official ribbon cutting with mascot Wally Goose.
