WaWa, please, pretty please, will you please come to Lake Worth!

Ms. Sorentrue at the Palm Beach Post with some incredibly good news! Let's hope for a Dixie Hwy. location. From the article:

Wawa, a family-owned chain of convenience stores known its fanatical following, plans to open dozens of stores in Palm Beach and Broward counties over the next five years, company officials announced Wednesday.

But die-hard Wawa fans will have to wait to find out exactly where they will be able to get their hot coffee and hoagie fix.

At a gathering Wednesday, Wawa leaders said they are looking for sites across the county that are suitable for gas and convenience store sales.

Peter Gilligan, Wawa’s senior vice president of real estate, said the company plans to secure at least 15 sites in Palm Beach and Broward this year. Wawa expects to break ground on three to five stores in 2016.

Gilligan confirmed that Wawa is considering three sites in West Palm Beach as part of its expansion into Palm Beach County.

However there will be controversy. Will WaWa sell hoagies or subs? Will they sell scrapple sandwiches? Will they have a WaWa university here too?
