Wawa

It took 48 years from the opening of the very first Wawa for Wawa to open a location in Florida, and this brand has gained quite a following in the nearly four years since then. It’s hard to imagine that with all the convenient stores that exist that the hype is still as strong as it is and it’s almost cult like following is still a topic of conversation with each new opening. It really shows how complacent the competing convenient store brands have gotten over the years. I have tried to identify what sets Wawa apart from the rest, «Wawa» is a Native American word for the Canada Goose and also the location of the original dairy farm located in a rural section of Pennsylvania called Wawa besides that like most convenient stores they sell fuel, beverages, food, lottery ticket, etc 24 hours a day so I’m guessing its popularity is simple they have an aggressive marketing plan and they have an «app». I have asked several people who seem obsessed what’s the attraction and more often than not the reply is the same «it’s cool» and when I ask why, the response is usually «because» or «I don’t know» so Wawa enjoy you’re 15 minutes of fame and keep your restrooms clean because your sustainability is no more guaranteed than the rest, we will only go out of our way to visit you for so long then it’s becomes a matter of convenience hence your category’s description…

Free air! Need i say more?
Yummy treats of all kinds from breakfast to afternoon pick me ups and coffee!

When WaWa first came to Orlando, FL, there was a lot of buzz and excitement — rightly so! They offer free air for your tires (which I have yet to find at any other establishment) freshly made food items and clean restroom. They also send out a fair amount of coupons and have competitive prices for fuel. I will definitely be back!

So around 4:30AM my boyfriend and
I arrive at this Wawa location. Upon entering the guy behind the food station greets us with only an awkward look. I make myself a coffee and then we proceed to place an order on the order screen which is directly in front of that same employee. We stand back and converse as we wait for our order. After over 10 minutes the guy walks up to says «I think your order is sitting on the counter.» Then we went to check out and had to wait again to check out. Very unhappy especially since we are both in the customer service business.

What can I say about Wawa that has not been said already. Coffee is excellent. Selection of food is also excellent. Hoagies, I’m already hooked, especially during Hoagiefest. Service has always been good.
Whenever I’m driving around and am in need of coffee my car automatically pulls into a Wawa.

«Got to have a Wawa!»

I love Wawa! I’m from the northeast so it’s nostalgic when I see a Wawa. I can’t wait until they open them in palm beach and broward counties next year. This Wawa was clean, modern and very well organized. The coffee creamer selection was extensive. They’re open 24 hours a day. Great sandwiches at any time of the day. Great prices.

Huge fan of the Wawa — They always have great gas prices and the store is always kept very clean. They have a great selection for quick grab food items and their employees are pretty friendly and helpful. I never wait too long for sandwiches or anything to order. The touch screen computers make it so quick and easy, you can’t help but browse.

Great gas prices, but more importantly their mocha’s are great.. I have totally switched from the Bucks now, and save about 50 cents a day.. When you order you do so on monitors, very cool and slick.. Take note Starbucks.. I never ever thought I would defect from Buckies but I have.. Their iced coffees are awesome too, and I have never tried these before but now I like them, not too fattening either.. Well run and perfectly clean all the times I have been there..

I heard a lot of good things about Wawa and decided to stop by even though I usually go to costco for gas. Wawa carries the regular gas station foods and beverages besides milk, as well as other items. When I saw the sandwich and coffee station I was really impressed. You can select and make your own sandwich from the computer and add different items to it. After ordering your own sandwich the employee will make it fresh. The Wawa food was really good compared to all other gas stations. If I have the several gas stations options I would pick Wawa again!

I go to this place frequently for getting gas and sometimes I go after a night out downtown for a late night sub. WAWA is honestly the best convenience store in Orlando. Its ten times better than 7-​eleven, or Racetrac. They make fresh subs 24hrs a day. The coffee is really good. They have a pretty decent pastry selection. The price of everything is reasonable. I love this place. I just wish they had wawa in the downtown location instead of 7-​eleven. Maybe we’ll get there one day, but until then i’ll continue to go to WAWA.

Love this wawa! I am a sucker for icee and their smoothies. I haven’t seen them run any really great deals in a while, but I usually go there to gas up and get a late night coffee run in. Their free samples set up is such a brilliant system to get in customers and to keep them happy. Also love their hot subs. The pepperoni one is like pizza on a sandwich. And, in the morning, always nice to grab an affordable breakfast wrap/​burrito with a donut. While wawa is around, my waistline will not be getting smaller :)

Love this place! I’m glad they’re popping up all over Orlando. Awesome subs, coffee and the coolest little specialty food items. Gas is usually priced pretty good and they ALWAYS have free air if your tires ever need to be topped off. Oh, they also have a walk-​in beer cooler with tons of choices. 5 stars from this hungry Unilocaler!

I love their subs here, especially the cuban and the special sub they have during thanksgiving. Very affordable. Their shakes are really good, as well as their coffe (which is super cheap). They also have sample coffee cups if you want to get a small hit pf caffine while you wait for your food to be finished. If you are a baked goods person, they have donuts, muffins, and other goodies galore for you to partake in. Something in that case always draws my eye. Plus, you can’t beat a station that has such great gas prices. Usually the best on the block, and it’s right by my house!

Anyone who claims this isn’t gas station food is driven by some kind of weird hometown nostalgia.
Just because you grew up in the North eating gas station sandwiches at 3 in the morning doesn’t mean you should recommend it to people in Florida.
I’ve tried two sandwiches at Wawa and the downfall is not the fault of the staff. Of course the staff is nice and friendly and hard-​working– they are our fellow Floridians.
But the food quality should have remained up North. It consists of terrible meat cold cuts (eg. the kind of turkey that’s slimy and pink with purple spots or nasty cuts of philly cheesesteak beef).
The veggies are all coated HEAVILY in wax and you can taste it.
The only plus side is the «smores» dessert for two dollars but half the time I’ve bought it it’s been burned.
Just go to Publix for a real cold cut sub or any other mom and pop place. Don’t support another gas station and act like this is some kind of righteously awesome company. It’s not.

Wawa is as good as it gets!
Being a native of the North east I am all too familiar with Wawa. In my high school years this was the one stop before school and the last stop on the way home from partying! Open 24 hrs Wawa not only provides exceptional food but at amazing prices. They are super, clean, extra friendly, and are very customer oriented.
Wawa kills any other gas station/​convenience store competition.

This particular one always has plenty of staff on hand, my subs and quesadillas always come out fast. I always get fou. tain drinks from here and donuts which they have a huge selection of each morning. Excellent quick stop and gas is a little lower than most gas stations. Right now its about 20 cents lower!

Wow, Wawa, where have you been all my life? So glad you are now in FL. Love the food Upon entering the store, I was amazed at not only the amount of employees, but how helpful and friendly they are. The place is immaculate, not your average gas station convenience store.
You step into the middle of the store and place your order on the touchscreens. You can order on the screen and pick whatever items or ingredients you want on your sandwich. They also offer a multitude of fresh side items as well. After, you complete your order, you may pick any other items in the store (chips, sodas, beer, etc.) and pay at the cashier. They will give you a number and they will call your order when it is complete. The whole process was very speedy.
I also noticed the gas seemed less inexpensive than stations near my home. Now if only Wawa was closer to my home! I would be there everyday.

Okay, finally I get the hype! I have seen the future and it is a magical world where I can press a button and be handed a hefty Philly cheesesteak laden with peppers, cheese and meaty goodness. Yes, I’m oversimplifying the process but their touchscreen ordering system at the deli counter is pretty awesome.
I, for one, welcome our new gas station/​coffee bar/​sub shop overlords.

Oh my gosh– I’m so glad I have finally been able to experience a Wawa! I’ve been hearing so many good things about it but I was skeptical. I was asking myself, «What’s going to be so great about a dumb gas station?» I was so wrong. It’s the best gas station everrr!
Why? The gas prices are great. You get free air for your tires. The best part? Their hoagies! They are Publix quality hoagies (without the Boar’s Head brand) that just taste so damn good. Their chicken noodle soup is pretty good also!
To order a made-​to-​order hoagie, you do it through a touch screen computer. Gives you options for condiments, meats, cheeses, etc. Then you print out the receipt to bring it to the register to pay. And go back to the hoagie station to wait for it being made for you. Then you can enjoy it on the tables that are outside of the gas station for your convenience!
Thank goodness for Wawa!

This place is cool! As a Floridian who has never been able to experience the WaWa way, I’m happy to have visited the newest and nearest a couple of times and each was a good experience. I had a freebie coupon for an iced latte, so I got to use the cool ordering computer and go through the system.
They have a bunch of cold beverages – energy drinks, water, soda, beer – as well as customizable drinks. You can order a latte any way you want: sugar-​free, fat-​free, flavored, etc. They have a wide variety of hot coffees and cappuccino beverages. There’s also a bunch of fresh snacks like packaged fruit, sandwiches, etc.
Best of all, the gas prices are great! :)
