I guess anything is possible. I've been in many Sheetz in PA and never saw anything amiss. Wawa OTOH, was borderline dump when they were in my state. The ~ half-dozen that i've seen in NJ in the last 2 years were not nearly on par with the PA Sheetz stores that i've patronized.

One thing that scares me a little, both my article and yours describe Wawa as a "filling-station chain". I hope they don't bring their gas stations down here; I thought those were a failed experiment. The two Wawas I know of that sold gas back home (Dover, DE and Nottingham, PA) were nice (better than anything down here), but not as good as a normal Wawa. Plus, the gas was overpriced and was unbranded.

As a side note, unbranded and branded gas use the exact same gas from the same refinery, but unbranded gas gets the government set minimum additives versus the higher quality branded additives that are put in branded gas. A Valero station may be selling gas made in a BP refinery and visa-versa, it's the additives that determine the brand not the actual gasoline. Most places unless they are close to a refinery get their gas from a pipeline, the pipeline operators don't separate the gas from one refinery from that from another. The additives are put in after it comes out of the pipeline and before it goes into the delivery truck. Whether the difference in additives is enough to justify paying for branded gas I doubt very much, but if it's using cheaper additives it should cost a little less.

I work for wawa and I would just like to let you know that our gasoline is sunoco fuel, and it is a private pipeline that we own with them. And also we will be bringing our fuel stations to Florida as well. Oh just so you know the additives they put in are 1) not good for an engine 2) not going to give you better gas mileage either.

OK, but none of that changes the fact that I think non-gas station Wawas are a higher class of operation than gas station ones.

*shrugs* i think it varies depending on how old the stores are and when was the last time the store was *updated*.

practically all of the wawa stores that i've been to in nj (with and without gas stations) are nice and look *new*.

i've only been to one wawa in nj that looked kinda dumpy and it didnt have a gas station.

I'll admit the dumpiest Wawa I've ever been in (possibly the only dumpy Wawa I've ever been in) was in Claymont (Delaware) and it wasn't a gas station Wawa. But on average I prefer the ones without gas stations. The ones with gas stations always just seemed a little too "slick" (not sure if that's the right word) for me. But any Wawa is better than anything we have down here right now.

Nearest Wegmans to Reading would be either Collegeville or Allentown, depending on where you are near Reading. The Collegeville store is rather new. I've been to the one in Allentown. HUGE. If it had been closer, I might have shopped there. Collegeville might have been doable- used to take my kids to Gymboree there. Spent most of my life in Berks Co. PA.

Did my eyes deceive me or did I spot a Turkey Hill store somewhere in FL? Those are pretty nice convenience stores too. Have their own brands of ice cream and iced tea that are very good... they've suddenly begun showing up in BiLo stores here (the ice cream and tea). No deli though at Turkey Hill. Been ages since I've been to a Wawa. Dh is thrilled to be getting 7-11 again....Slurpees! No good convenience stores in SC at all.
