Where There's a Will, There's a Wawa
By Keith O'BrienMay 20, 2025Guide
For every thousand borderline anonymous or barely tolerated quick service restaurant and convenience store, there exists a few that court not so much customers as fanatics.
Like Buc-cees in The South, Cook Out in the Carolinas, Erewhon in California, Wegmans in the Northeast, and Publix in Florida, a temple exists in New Jersey - and especially the Jersey Shore - where devotees flock daily to receive their communion. I speak of Wawa, a place to get an incredible array of coffee, prepared food (hot and cold) you won't immediately regret eating, gas, and a wide variety of snacks and drinks.

Yes, yes, I know - Wawas are a Delaware County (DelCo) invention. However, since the 70s, they have spread to the surrounding Jersey Shore area and many New Jerseyans claims them as their own.
