Wawa is a privately-held mid-Atlantic convenience store and gas station chain with about 1,000 locations across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, plus Florida (since 2012 expansion) and recent additions in North Carolina and Alabama, owned by the founding Wood family and employees through an ESOP (about 40 percent employee-owned), founded as a dairy business in 1803 in New Jersey by George Wood and as a convenience store concept in 1964 in Folsom Pennsylvania, headquartered in Wawa Pennsylvania.

The questions readers actually ask: are Wawa stores open 24 hours, what time does my Wawa open or close, are they open on Christmas, when is Wawa Day (free coffee day), and which Wawa locations have gas pumps.

Two Wawa specific things worth knowing: most stores are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (similar to convenience competitor 7-Eleven), with the iconic built-to-order hoagie program ordered via Touch Screen Order (TSO) kiosks the chain pioneered. Wawa Day on April 13 each year is a free-coffee promotion (any size, any roast) that draws cult-fan lines at most stores; the chain considers April 13 its corporate birthday and the date is listed in marketing material as a real holiday on the Wawa calendar. Iconic Pennsylvania rival Sheetz splits the convenience-cult-brand territory roughly along Eastern PA Wawa vs Central/Western PA Sheetz lines, with both chains running similar 24/7 + touchscreen-food operating models.

Christmas Eve typically runs full 24/7 hours; the chain reopens with full 24/7 operations on December 26. Wawa is one of the few major US chains that closes for Christmas Day across virtually all locations (vs 7-Eleven where Christmas closure varies by franchise).

Is Wawa open on Thanksgiving?

Yes, most Wawa stores are open with full 24/7 hours on Thanksgiving Day. The chain is one of the few national retail options open Thanksgiving Day for last-minute holiday-meal items, gas, ice, hoagies, and snacks. Thanksgiving morning (gas + ice + hoagies for football-watch parties) and Thanksgiving evening (post-meal beverages and dessert pickups) are peak traffic windows.

When is Wawa Day (free coffee)?

Wawa Day is April 13 every year, the chain's corporate birthday. Most Wawa stores give away a free Wawa coffee (any size, any roast) all day on April 13. The promotion typically runs from store-open to close (or 24 hours at 24/7 stores) at participating locations. Wawa Day is a real holiday on the Wawa marketing calendar and draws cult-fan lines at most stores. Sometimes the chain extends the promotion (free coffee Tuesday for the week, etc.) depending on the year.

How do I order a Wawa hoagie?

Wawa hoagies are built-to-order via the Touch Screen Order (TSO) kiosks inside every Wawa store. Use the kiosk to customize (bread type, meat, cheese, toppings, condiments), receive an order ticket, pay at the register or via the Wawa app, and pick up the hoagie at the deli counter typically 5 to 10 minutes later. The Wawa app supports remote ordering for in-store pickup (skip the kiosk line). The hoagie program is the chain's iconic offering and a meaningful differentiator vs other convenience stores; the Classic Italian, Tuna, and Custom Built-to-Order are the most popular.

What is the Wawa Day free coffee promotion?

Wawa Day on April 13 is the chain's annual free coffee promotion celebrating the corporate birthday. Most Wawa stores give away a free Wawa coffee (any size including the 24-ounce; any roast including blonde, original, dark, decaf; flavors and add-ins included on most years). The promotion runs all day at participating stores (24 hours at 24/7 locations). Cult-fan lines are common at urban locations; mid-morning and after-work peaks are the heaviest traffic windows.

Where can I find Wawa locations?

Wawa operates about 1,000 stores primarily in the mid-Atlantic: Pennsylvania (heaviest density, including Philadelphia metro), New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, plus Florida (~250+ stores after the 2012 expansion that brought Wawa to Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville markets), and recent expansion into North Carolina and Alabama. The chain has not expanded west of Pennsylvania (no stores in Ohio or further) or into the Northeast (no stores in NY, CT, MA, etc.). Use the locator below to find the nearest Wawa.

Does Wawa have gas pumps?

Many Wawa stores have gas pumps (the Super Wawa format, typically the larger newer-built locations); some smaller older Wawa stores are food-and-beverage only without gas. The gas-equipped Super Wawa stores are the most common format in newly-built locations and Florida market expansions; the food-only stores are more common in older Pennsylvania and South Jersey locations. The locator below filters by gas availability.

Is Wawa cheaper than 7-Eleven?

Wawa pricing on coffee, fountain drinks, and convenience snacks is generally similar to 7-Eleven; Wawa hoagies are typically priced higher than 7-Eleven Big Bites and equivalent because Wawa hoagies are built-to-order with full deli ingredients. Wawa coffee is famously a cult-favorite among Pennsylvania and Florida customers who consider it superior to other convenience-store coffees; 7-Eleven coffee has a similar but separate cult following in the Northeast and Texas markets.

What is the Wawa customer service phone number?
