Wawa to build first drive-thru, pickup only store

The Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain Wawa is exploring new store formats.

The brand, which operates more than 630 stores, has announced plans to build a 1,850sq ft freestanding drive-thru location in Falls Township, Pennsylvania. It will be Wawa’s first-ever store solely focused on drive-thru and curb-side pickup service. The architectural design is based on key Wawa brand elements such as the trademarked canopy, while the offer is focused on fresh food in a drive-thru experience.

With an ongoing mission of providing convenience for customers: “Wawa continues to test new store concepts with this latest drive-thru format, providing an opportunity for our customers to still experience and enjoy their favourite Wawa products while remaining inside their vehicle,” said Terri Micklin, Director of Construction, Wawa. “It is critical to provide new ways to access Wawa, increase convenience, and provide new options for service.”

Wawa plans to begin construction of the drive-thru store in late August 2020 with a targeted opening date of December 2020.
