WaWa is as woke woke as it gets.
Up until now, there was only ONE Wawa west of a Sheetz in PA. I wonder what changed.
I hadn't heard this! In fact I had breakfast and lunch from there today. Can you elaborate?
Wawa started out trying to mimic 7/11. Back in the day my 7/11 had a deli and made sandwiches. VERY little to differentiate them.
BOTH sold magazines. Many of the magazines were XXX. The story goes that a high level executive from Wawa went to a local WaWa to find several boys going through the XXX magazines. It so bothered him that it resulted in ALL magazines being removed from Wawa. To this day there are NO magazine racks in Wawa.
In the 30 years since Wawa has all but supplanted 7/11 in the Philly suburbs.
Frequent a couple of local WAWAs and have never observed any “wokeness” symbols like rainbow flags or signs of perversion...
Sheetz embraced the masks and the mask shaming as a corporate policy, they also used Covid as a cover to trim down their food menu, claiming it was the supply chain crisis that made them do it. All of them -- Wawa, Turkey Hill, Rutters, RoFa, Sheetz, 7-11 -- are big business and crowd out locally-owned competitors. They want you to fight over who makes a better sandwich because it helps cover up what they're doing to locally owned companies.
WaWa is as woke woke as it gets.
Wawa has great, cheap coffee and their gas is usually competitively priced. Their staff is typically a few notches above other stores in terms of attitude and friendliness.
Where I live, Wawas can be a hangout of sorts for eccentric characters (of the non LGBT variety). They tend to be colorful, but harmless (at least so far). It is kind of fun the way Wawas buzz with activity.
I have a Sheetz closer to me, but I prefer Wawa.
Wawa is awesome. Good food and they stock Jocko Willink’s energy drinks which Im addicted to
