About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few years ago, a delivery driver pulled up to Wawa’s drive-thru late one night. As he approached the window, he noticed something odd in the parking lot—a small, glowing orb hovering just above the ground. Curious but cautious, he drove back inside and mentioned it to no one until the next morning, when others started reporting similar sightings. It turned out to be nothing more than an overzealous neon sign reflecting off a puddle. The next day, everyone had a good laugh—except for the poor delivery driver who thought he’d seen UFOs. From then on, whenever anyone asked if they should visit Wawa, his fellow employees would teasingly reply, ‘Only if you want to see the famous glowing orb!’

2. One morning, a regular stopped at the Wawa and asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever wonder why no one ever waits in line here?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, I’ve always assumed that everyone knows each other around here!' A delivery driver overheard and laughed, saying, 'Nah, it’s more like nobody wants to be the first one in line for those delicious hoagies.' The regular nodded with a smile, knowing perfectly well that good coffee and friendly faces were what made Wawa special.

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled into Wawa's empty parking lot. Something unusual caught his eye—a sign reading 'Open 24 Hours' glowing eerily in the pre-dawn light. Curious, he approached and noticed an old coffee machine steaming faintly. Pouring himself a cup, he heard a voice from behind: ‘Morning, stranger—first customer of the day!’ Turning around, he saw only a smiling parrot perched on the counter. The delivery driver shook his head, took a sip, and muttered, ‘I’ll be back.’

4. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled into Wawa's parking lot. As he walked towards the store, he noticed something odd on the ground—a strange metal object shaped like an old-fashioned key. Curious, he picked it up and tried the door of one of the nearby cars—much to his surprise, it fit perfectly! Turns out, someone had left their car unlocked overnight. With a laugh, he popped open the trunk, found the owner’s phone, called them, and returned everything. From then on, whenever anyone asked him about his luck, he’d just say, ‘Must be something in the Wawa water.’
