Wawa Opens First Georgia Location
Wawa is now officially in Georgia as the convenience store chain has opened its first location in the state in Bainbridge.
Located at 1401 Tallahassee Hwy., the new store is the first of several that will be opened in the Peach State. Before the end of 2024, Wawa will open two additional locations at US 341 & Community Road in Brunswick and 356 West Orange Street in Jesup.
“It’s official – Wawa is opening our doors to serve our newest friends and neighbors in Georgia!” said Brian Schaller, president of Wawa. “We are thrilled to open three stores this year to bring our investment in Georgia to life. These events will also give us the opportunity to share a little bit about our history and culture, that is what makes Wawa such an ideal fit for communities here. Over the next few years, we will be continuing to expand and invest in the region as we build new stores and connect with new customers in more Georgia communities.”
The 2024 store grand openings will each feature special events officially introducing Wawa to the community, details on Wawa’s expansion plans and a welcome to all new customers, local officials and charity partners. During the events, Wawa and The Wawa Foundation will also announce new commitments and support to community organizations.
In Georgia, contributions will be made to Second Harvest of Georgia and Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia to support local initiatives as well as provide relief from recent impact of Hurricane Helene. Grants from the Wawa Foundation will total $30,000 in support to the food banks.
