Wawa is Winning

Mark’s Corner: Newsworthy Notes – 4.22.2024

It seems Wawa Convenience Stores are always in the news, and always for good reasons.

Here’s the latest on this convenience store chain that continues to lead in so many areas, and in so many ways.

CSPdaily News: Commemorating its 60th anniversary as a retailer this month, Wawa plans to open 40 new convenience stores in central Pennsylvania by 2029.

Wawa is No. 10 on CSP’s 2024 Top 40 Update. Wawa, which has about 1,040 stores, plans to double its store count by 2030, CEO Chris Gheysens has said.

Earlier this week, business review platform Yelp named Wawa as fifth in its inaugural ranking of the 50 fastest-growing brands. Wawa was the only c-store brand to make the list.

Also, on a personal note, Wawa plans to open its first three sites in my home state of Tennessee in 2025. Not only in Tennessee but they plan to open a site in my very own hometown of Dickson!

Keep an eye on these guys, they are among the very best. Congrats Wawa – from all of us at SolvOne!
