Wawa will open its first travel center format store in Hope Mills, N.C. on Aug. 28, featuring 8,000 square feet of space that will house the convenience store chain’s signature food and beverage offerings, as well as 20 fueling spots for passenger vehicles and six high-speed diesel fuel lanes to serve tractor trailers.
“We are thrilled to pilot this new format in Hope Mills and believe this new travel center model is a great way to bring Wawa to customers while serving travelers’ needs,” said John Poplawski, Chief Real Estate Officer at Wawa in a statement.
The Hope Mills store will have interior and exterior seating areas and an open design for the food and beverage area. Other amenities include a CAT weigh station, well-appointed rest rooms and a pet relief area.
Wawa operates more than 1,100 stores in 12 states and Washington, D.C., and the Hope Mills opening will kick off Wawa’s plans to build and open six to eight stores in the state each year, reaching a total of 90 North Carolina stores within the next decade.
