Wawa will open a new store in Kennett Square on April 9.
Located at 806 Baltimore Pike, this location is the twenty-third of nearly 100 stores Wawa expects to open in 14 states in 2026 and will offer fresh food, beverages, convenience, fuel, and more.
Wawa invites customers to join a Grand Opening Party beginning at 7:55 AM with Wawa General Manager, Daniel Deans, counting down to the moment when the doors will open for the first time at 8 AM, along with free “Wawa Grand Opening Tour in the USA” t-shirts for the first 100 customers, as supplies last, and free any size hot coffee through April 12.
Immediately following at 8:30 AM, customers are invited to participate in a ceremony to highlight Wawa’s 200-year history in American business, celebrate the new store team and honor everyday heroes with a “Hoagies for Heroes” hoagie-building competition between first responders benefitting local charities.
Customers interested in attending can learn more and RSVP on Wawa’s Facebook page.
“As our nation celebrates its 250th birthday in 2026, we’re proud to be a company with more than 200 years in American business, now across 13 states in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Midwest markets. We are excited to celebrate by opening nearly 100 stores this year as we spread our wings to reach even more new communities across the country,” said Brian Schaller, Wawa President. “Our ongoing growth and expansion allow us to invest in and provide meaningful support to more communities and create new jobs and opportunities for our associates to soar in their careers.”
To build each store, Wawa will invest more than $7.5 million and employ, on average, 140 contractors and local partners. Once open, each store will employ an average of 35 associates.
