I don't think Wawa has franchises. I looked in to this a while ago. Not sure about Quickcheck.
AFAIK, from checking both of their sites, neither is a franchise operation and all their stores are corporate owned. Wawa is explicit on their FAQ page that they do not franchise. All I could find on Quick Chek's page was a statement that they were a private/family owned businees that operated X amount of stores.
Didn't bother reading the rest of the thread, but Wawa is a lifestyle, and I'm assuming Quickchek isn't. Growing up (and still to this day hah), if you didn't end up at Wawa on a drinking night, your night was a fail.
Yeah, Quickchek's just a place to buy things lol. I've finished a few nights at Wawa, though
I'm not a coffee drinker and I live in Quickchekland; but if I had to pick, Wawa hands down. Every Wawa I've been to was clean and had friendly employees, while all the Quickcheks I've been to in Union and Middlesex counties were dingy and occasionally had rude employees.
I remember stopping at a Quick Chek off Rt 35 in Eatontown one night about a year ago because I had to use the bathroom. The place was filthy and I spent a significant amount of time roaming around the store looking for the bathroom and not one person that worked there acknowledged that I was looking around or offered help. Finally I went over the coffee counter and asked the young girl behind there where the bathroom was, she rudely slurred "we don't have a bathroom here" like she was doped up on something illegal. This is really the only bad Quick Chek experience I had though, and I would not call the majority of them "dingy" or dirty.
The one thing I really like about Quick Chek is how some (not all) of them have sit down tables. I wish Wawa would start putting some of these in their stores.
