Wawa to reopen Oct. 31 with deals on food, drinks

A busy convenience store on Garrisonville Road closed for remodeling.

The Wawa market and gas station at 105 Garrisonville Road will be closed for four weeks as crews work to update the popular roadside stop. It will reopen at 8 a.m. Oct. 31 with a new look on both its exterior and interior.

“We thank our customers for their patience while their Stafford Wawa was renovated,” said Chris Gheysens, Wawa’s president and CEO.  “In 2014, we made a vow to expand the Wawa experience to more customers than ever before, and we’re excited to complete the remodeling of 22 stores by year’s end…”

When it reopens, the store will have new items like milkshakes and more flavored fountain sodas. The store will also offer free coffee, fountain sodas for 89 cents each, and sandwiches under $3 each for 10 days.

Outside, the Wawa will have new fuel pumps as well as new signs and graphics. This location is one of 22 stores in the Wawa chain to be remodeled this year – the most the convenience store chain has done at the same time, according to Gheysens. The company plans to remodel 22 more stores next year as the company prepares to turn 50 years old.

The store at 105 Garrisonville Road opened in 2004. Another nearby Wawa on Garrisoville Road at Eustace Road remains open for business.

Another Wawa store is located in North Stafford on U.S. 1.
