We live in metro Philadelphia, where the word "Wawa" isn't the sound of a baby crying but rather an immensely popular and much-loved convenience store.
For people in Philly and New Jersey, Wawa is the go-to place for terrific coffee, delicious (and super-customized) hoagies--"hoagie" is Phillyspeak for "sub sandwich" or "hero sandwich," by the way!--lottery tickets, fruit smoothies, and much more. We're lucky to have a bustling Wawa less than two miles from our house--and we're there at least once or twice each week.
Imagine our delight, then, to learn that this Philly favorite is heading south to Florida! This summer, Wawa is opening five new locations in Central Florida.
From the news release, it doesn't look like there'll be a Wawa around the corner from Regal Palms Resort--at least not right away. But when we head to Orlando next month, you can bet we'll take a quick ride to Kissimmee to get a cup of the world's best coffee (and some hoagies, too!).
We'll let you know how the Sunshine State Wawas compare to those in and around the City of Brotherly Love! :)
