Wawa opened its newest store in North Stafford on Friday, December 9, 2022.
The store is located at 1172 Garrisonville Road. To mark the occasion, Wawa hosted a grand opening celebration and outdoor ribbon cutting beginning at 9 a.m.
Before the celebration, the new store opened at 8 a.m., when Wawa began distributing limited-edition Wawa “Goose Vibes Only” t-shirts for the first 100 customers. Wawa will also provide free coffee to toast the community as part of the grand-opening celebration through December 18, 2022.
Katelyn Mozingo will serve as general manager of the new Wawa store, leading a team of approximately 50 employees, all of which are new positions brought to the area through the development of the store.
Associates in these full- and part-time positions will not only receive an hourly starting rate of $15 and health benefits but, once eligible, will participate in Wawa’s employee stock ownership plan. Wawa Associates own 40% of Wawa through the ESOP.
The store is fully equipped with a built-to-order fresh food kitchen featuring its hoagies (80 million hoagies sold annually) and newest food innovations such as a customizable hamburger, Wawa coffee (195 million cups sold annually); the Sizzliä, a hot breakfast sandwich; a new line of specialty beverages (hot, cold, iced and frozen); a bakery; and a line of dairy products, juices, and teas, plus packaged goods, and fuel.
The new gas station is one of two new Wawa locations. A second, just north of Route 610 at Route 1 and Port Aquia Drive, will open soon.
