Grand Opening of Fifth Florida Store Marks 600th Wawa Store to Open Chain-Wide
“It’s been an incredible five weeks, and we find it very fitting that our fifth grand opening in the sunshine state also marks our 600th store to open chain-wide as it nicely rounds out this landmark occasion,” said Howard Stoeckel, Wawa’s CEO. “We couldn’t be prouder that we have made our goal of supporting the Second Harvest Food Bank a reality, and we are thrilled to present them with a $35,000 check that will help fight hunger in the Orlando community in a meaningful way.”
