The first store was introduced in Folsom, Pennsylvania in April 1964. The company has been offering fresh food selection under the Wawa brand including fresh produce, dairy products, breakfast sandwiches and bakery products.
The company with its headquarters in Chester Heights, Pennsylvania started in the year 1890. It started as a dairy farm which rapidly grew together with the demands for dairy products. In the 1960s, the decline in the demand for home delivery of milk products pushed the company to develop the Wawa Food Market.
Though the business is family-run, the majority of their employees hold a hefty percentage of their stocks. With US$8.46 billion in revenue, the company employs roughly around 18,000 workers.
