I really like Wawa. It is ten times better than most other convenience marts like 7-11 or Cumberland Farms or Turkey Hill. I like the fact that the ATM machines are no fee.

The sandwiches are hit or miss - I don't care for the ones with meat on them, the exception being the roast beef hoagie with creamy horseradish sauce on it. The tuna salad hoagie isn't bad. Actually I find some of hot soups quite good ... for instance, the Maryland she-crab chowder is delicious.

I am LOVIN' that, Frank. God bless those Doo Wop architects; I know the DW group has put forth an enormous effort!

I love WaWa coffee, but am bummed that all the deli meat is now presliced. If you want to buy just the meat/cheese to take home, it's very dry and...frankly, old.

You forgot their lemonade. No one has achieved the right balance between sweet and sour as Wawa has.

I'm a big Wawa fan and was happy when the new ones with gas stations finally came up here to the Lehigh Valley. I like the coffee, no-fee ATM's and the pretzels at the counter. For milk though I go to Turkey Hill.

Thanks in advance!

FWIW, my alma mater, UCF, is now (at least for 2013) in the same league as Temple so I look forward to experiencing your City first hand next fall. It's long overdue.
I'm a senior at Temple and my cousin is a senior at UCF. Should be a lot of good UCF/Temple games. There are plenty of Wawas without gas stations. The ones I go to in the suburbs don't have gas stations.

All I know is, if you move somewhere without a Wawa, there's nothing comparable. They are worlds better than 7-11. I sure miss my Wawa when I'm visiting Florida. Hope they expand further down the Gulf coast.
