Wawa’s original dairy farm was constructed on a piece of earth located in a rustic part of Pennsylvania where the chains name comes from, Wawa, Pennsylvania. Wawa means Canadian goose and it is the current logo of all Wawa stores. Nowadays, the name Wawa has come to be a symbol of the exceptional attributes of the company.
Wawa was first founded in 1803 in New Jersey. It was later represented in the legal form of a corporation in 1865 as the Millville Manufacturing Company. On April 16, 1964, Wawa Food Markets opened the doors to their first store in Folsom, Pennsylvania. As an instantaneous success, this store undoubtedly marked the beginning of the Wawa chain of convenient stores. From its establishment, Wawa made a dedication to fast, fresh and flavorsome food. Now, it is recognized for its competitive prices, no fee ATM machines, unsurpassed convenience, and distinctive, constantly growing menu of deli assortments. The gas pumps are recognized for their unbeatable low prices, which in turn, brings in more customers to visit the inside of the store. The deli counter at Wawa is distinguished, because it was among the first convenience stores to utilize a do-it-yourself computer touch-screen menu for food orders, which improves accuracy and is used to increase to improved customer service.
