From the South Florida Business Journal: "Second Wawa planned in this South Florida city"

The city can't be Lake Worth because we haven't gotten our first Wawa yet. Here are two excerpts from this article in the South Florida Business Journal by reporter Brian Bandell:
     Deerfield Beach could get a second Wawa convenience store and gas station.
     The Pennsylvania-based company, known for its fresh food and coffee, has been lining up dozens of locations for its entry into the South Florida market. On April 7, the Deerfield Beach Planning and Zoning Board will consider a proposal by Wawa to put a store at 20 S.W. 12th Ave. – just south of Hillsboro Boulevard and west of Interstate 95.
[and. . .]
     Fort Lauderdale also has two Wawa stores planned. Other cities with Wawa locations on the way include Miami Gardens, West Palm Beach, Pompano Beach, Palm Springs, Davie, Sunrise, Riviera Beach, and Parkland.
West Palm Beach and Palm Springs have Wawa's on the way and both of them are our municipal neighbors. How long before the little City of Lake Worth makes the list? Keep your fingers crossed and hope we get some great news from the reporter some time in the near future:
