If you are looking for a job and love Hoagiefest, good news - your neighborhood Wawa is hiring.

Wawa announced on Thursday plans to hire more than 5,000 new employees during the next three months for its 750 stores.

The company is looking to fill customer-service and management level positions.

"We are excited to launch our spring hiring campaign to recruit new Wawa associates. As a company, part of fulfilling lives means adding jobs for new associates, while also providing advancement opportunities for the more than 30,000 Wawa associates who are part of our team," Dave Filano, Manager of Talent Acquisition at Wawa, said in a statement.

In addition to every Wawa store hiring new positions, some stores will host open houses called 'Wawa Career Wednesday.' They begin March 29 and run every Wednesday through April 19.

Wawa says these open houses give jobseekers the opportunity for a brief, first interview and to learn more about working at the company.

Stores hosting 'Wawa Career Wednesday' events will have signs announcing the dates and time of the open house.

Those interested are encouraged to apply online at Wawa.com prior to attending an open house event.

To apply, visit Wawa.com.

Wawa has good selections. So does Meijer — love their dark chocolate covered cashews.

Yep, their HQ is on Baltimore Pike in Media PA. They’re spending a bunch of money expanding their “University”.

LOL, I KNOW it is a convenience/gas chain, but every single time I see the sign and walk in the door, I think of Barbara Walters!

Curses!

So is the Wawa original dairy...right across from the old Franklin Mint
building. Wawa gave me a job right out of the Marines to help pay for
books and beer in my first two years at PSU, slinging hoagies and
bouncing drunks on third shift. Me and a shift manager that was a former
Army Ranger...good times. For that I will always be grateful, good on
them.

It's more than that. It's the gold standard. There's convenience stores and then there's Wawa.

Not me. I think of the George Harrison song on All Things Must Pass.

Everytime.

College dorm room memories come flooding back.

Thank you. I never would have guessed. Sounds like a tech startup for the skinny pants crowd.

The best IMHO. I look for them when I'm travelling because the restrooms are always clean and the coffee is always hot and fresh. They also offer the best price on gas.
