Wawa is a convenience store, similar to 7/11 or Stop-N-Go.

Erika,
I guess there are a few Wawas up your way, then?
I live about 20 minutes from Wawa world Headquarters.
Here in Southeastern PA, Wawa isn't "just" a convience store. It is a gas station. It is the place with THE BEST coffee in town. It is the local Dairy store, a place with reasonably-priced milk, fresh from the Wawa dairy. They have their own line of Ice Tea (great stuff) and they supply the milk and tea to local scout camps, schools, hospitals, cafiterias, resturants, etc. Every store is a 24x7 hoagie shops, with hot soups, side dishes, and now even "hot bowls" of food. Quite a few of them are "where to go" to find local cops from 3 of 4 different towns.
My township has 2 large Wawas, one with 12, and one with 20 gas pumps. one is NEXT DOOR to the firehouse, and the other is on the other end of town, down the street from my house.
My EMS squad has 4 or 5 in our first run area, including one about a quarter-mile from the station.
Wawa is more than a store... It is a way of life (espically when you work midnights)

LOL, the Wawa's I know are in Jersey, and not as large and wonderful as the ones you so lovingly described.
I'm glad you've found such bliss in your life.

Wow..I can almost hear the orchestra playing as Jon describes his beloved WaWa. I sure wish we has something like that here.
Here we have Tom Thumbs. With about 8-10 pumps each. Theres the normal convienience store stuff. Milk is usually on sale. They have cutsie touristy type toys and gifts. And Hot Dogs, Egg Rolls, and Sausages. For $1.99 you can get a Hot Dog, bag of chips, and a 32 oz drink. But not between about 11p and 4a. They don't cook 'em then. The bathrooms are dark. Probably so your not afraid to sit on the pot. But there is toilet paper. And they have Blue Bell ice cream. Yep, Tom Thumb....Not nearly as magical as the WaWa sounds....but its all we have.

WaWa is the indian name for a canada goose in one of the local indian groups - think maybe Lenni-Lenape, not sure... That's why the logo always had a goose in it...

WaWa..Lmao, that's the last name I'd pick for.....anything.
We have BP here, it's usually synonomus with a Hess station. They sell the cheapest ciggarettes, and fair on the gas prices (not that gas prices are fair at all)
Circle K used to be good, but it's the main crack-w&8re hangout now.

Jon,
You've really got to stop listening to those Cheech & Chong albums you have. They'll warp your brain...
Sorry, I forgot who I was talking about for a minute.

The hospital gives us dirty looks for bringing another patient they will have to leave in the hall.
