Wawa is a gas station/convenience store. (Like Sheets if you have those)

Who can get sandwiches made to order, a large variety of coffee, and sodas. Usually have the best price on gas.

I believe the original owners of company, are Lakota Indian. Wawa is goose in Lakota, and there is a goose in the logo. Still it is a silly name for gas station.

The irony is apparently he needed gas. I think that Wawas has about ten pumps.

Wawa is Ojibwe/Chippewa, not Lakota, but yep, it’s the word for “goose”.

Sounds silly to non- Mid-Atlantic folks I know, but I can’t hear the name without my mouth watering. Mmmmm....hoagies.
