Wawa To Open First Location In Nashville

Wawa will be expanding its brand to Nashville. Wawa announced it plans to open 40 locations in the greater Nashville area. The first location has not been announced yet but they are accepting location suggestions. Wawa, a Delaware Valley favorite, has 950 locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Washington DC, Florida, and Virginia.

Wawa was started as a food market in 1964 by founder George Woods grandson Grahame.

When I heard, I had to text Delaware native Jimmie Allen to which he replied “Yessss”.
