Wawa, a family-owned chain of convenience stores known for its hot coffee and tasty sandwiches, is considering three potential sites in West Palm Beach as part of its expansion into Palm Beach County, The Palm Beach Post has learned.
The popular chain is looking at sites at the intersections of 45th and Interstate 95, Belvedere Road and Australian Avenue, and Okeechobee Boulevard and Skees Road.
West Palm Beach officials confirmed Tuesday that they have had preliminary discussions with Wawa, but would not release any details about those talks.
The company plans to unveil more about its expansion into Palm Beach County at an event on Wednesday. Chris Gheysens, Wawa’s president and CEO, is expected to address Wednesday’s crowd.
If
you've never been to a WaWa before you have no idea what you're
missing. Fresh sliced cold cuts and cheeses, fresh bread, wide aisles,
and the best-trained associates you could ever imagine. The coffee? Wow-Wow. Associates are even trained at WaWa University. I wonder if they learn conversational Latin there?
Come to Lake Worth, Florida, WaWa!!!
