About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when Wawa’s night shift workers were closing up shop, they heard an eerie announcement over the intercom: ‘To all employees—your coffee will now brew itself.’ The next morning, everyone found their coffee cups filled with fresh brew—and no one had touched a thing! Word spread quickly around town, and soon enough, every employee brought their friends along for the free late-night caffeine rush. Even the neighborhood cat started showing up at midnight, sitting patiently outside until someone let him in for some mysterious midnight snacks.

2. At dawn, when most Wawas are just opening their doors, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The parking lot was filled with cars, but not a single customer was inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only sleeping customers, blankets wrapped around them like they were camping in their cars. Smiling, he quietly unlocked the door and announced, ‘Good morning, sleepyheads!’ Everyone jumped awake, groggy but grateful for his gentle wake-up call.

3. Late one Friday afternoon, a delivery driver pulled into the Wawa parking lot. As he unloaded crates of drinks, he overheard two employees whispering about something strange happening every full moon. Curious, our delivery driver pretended to leave but snuck back inside. Sure enough, around midnight, a glowing dog walked through the store’s doors and headed straight for the cheesesteak counter. The employees froze until their boss calmly said, ‘It’s just Frank on the full moon again.’ Everyone laughed, including the dog.

4. Late one Friday afternoon, a delivery driver pulled into the Wawa parking lot. As he approached the counter, he noticed something strange: the cashier seemed to be talking to thin air. Curious, the driver asked if everything was okay. The cashier smiled and said, ‘Just talking to my new AI friend.’ Turns out, Wawa had just installed an experimental chatbot that day. The driver left with a laugh and a friendly wave, thinking, ‘Maybe next time I’ll try ordering coffee like that too!’
