Great find!

They take public transportation to shop at your store.


That’s how lots of malls die. Any opposition to a train stop near your mall is, of course, racist.

They have gas and mediocre food. Awesome? Not IMO.

I remember when guitarists use to have Wawa pedals.

(There are two near me, one three miles north, the other three miles east, and one ten miles west. And I live in semirural central FL. When I went to college I lived 13 miles from the original Wawa, in Wawa.)

He misspelled "dessert".

I had to read the story to make sense of the headline. I thought Wawa was what a baby says when she is thirsty.

Yep. As soon as the busses start coming from Section 8 housing or predominantly poor black neighborhoods to your local mall, it's only a matter of time.

In the case of the local mall near me which used to be considered "upscale" as recently as five years ago, two of the four major anchors are now gone, two remain just barely, and the remaining smaller stores are typically one-off "specialty" shops that don't last long, close, re-open as something else and the cycle keeps repeating.

Last Christmas I actually went there to go to the Pandora store for my long term girlfriend. The local PD had one paddy wagon full of shoplifters that was leaving, and one right behind it ready to take on the next load. It went on like that all day long.

Wasn't that way before the busses started arriving at the mall... just sayin'.

“To start, we are making a multi-year pledge of $100,000 per year to support the National Urban League and their mission of changing lives and empowering African-American communities.”

LOL, looks like the “communities” went ahead and got theirs before you paid off the NUL.

And you live in a place where they actually arrest shoplifters. Just think of places like San Francisco where no one gets arrested unless they steal more than $950 worth of goods. What is to stop a shoplifting free-for-all?

I was talking to a man in charge of logistics for a food service distribution service that delivers to WaWa in Phl.

He said drivers open the truck and take a load into the back door of the store… and when they come back, the truck has people in the back, grabbing everything they can get - throwing it to people on the ground .

You obviously don’t live in an ‘enlightened’ jurisdiction!

Boy Howdy! That is a mighty narrow minded view from Wawa.
And probably racist too.
Just because their customers & employees stand a pretty good
shot at getting shot is no reason to deprive peoples of color a place to hang out and buy 40 ouncers.
what are the Perpetually Oppressed and Aggrieved going to do.
Oh! The weeping and gnashing of teeth. Not to mention the newspaper stories & political outcry.

Not sure about this company but many have stupidly brought this crap on themselves by funding terrorist outfits like BLM

Yep. The mayor of the village I live in is very hard-ass about crime, as are the police.
