Our Story
Since its inception in 1964, Wawa has been more than just a convenience store; it has been a cornerstone of community support. Founded by Grahame Wood, Wawa began with a vision to serve customers while giving back to the community. In 2014, on Wawa’s 50th anniversary, this commitment was formalized with the establishment of The Wawa Foundation. Today, the foundation continues to honor Grahame’s legacy by championing life-saving research, leading hunger relief efforts, and supporting everyday heroes who make a difference in their communities.
