First new Wawa of the year opening in Upper Saucon

Wawa Inc. Has announced that it will be opening its first new store in 2022 in Upper Saucon Township. 

The new Wawa, which will have its grand opening on Feb. 3, is at 6680 Route 309. 

The grand opening is the first of the 54 total stores projected to open across Wawa’s operating area in 2022. 

Throughout the year, each grand opening celebration will be part of Wawa’s 2022 Day Brighteners Tour, an initiative designed to celebrate the customers, Associates, local heroes and community organizations that brighten our days. 

“At Wawa, our core purpose is fulfilling lives every day and since our first store opened, we’ve believed that we all have a role in making this world a better place,” said Chris Gheysens, Wawa’s president and CEO. “This year, we’re excited to toast all the incredible Day Brighteners and kick off this one-of-a-kind tour with a stop at each new store to show our ‘Goose Gratitude’ to associates and customers whose little acts of kindness make a big difference in our communities.” 

The company expects to hire more than 2,500 company-wide by the end of the year.
