Wawa Opens On #NewtownPA Bypass: Is It Safe?

Wawa pulled out all the stops Thursday morning to celebrate the opening of its newest store in Newtown Township.

Wawa President Brian Schaller told Patch that opening a store in Newtown "is a big deal. This store took 10 or 11 years. They usually don't take that long, but this is absolutely huge. We wanted to be in this customer base. Certainly, the location off of I-295 and the Bypass.”

 

[Being on the Bypass and so close to I-295, IMHO, makes it easy for shoplifters and armed robbers to escape before the Newtown police can get there. It was just one reason why I was one of two Supervisors who voted against this location for a Wawa. Another reason was their terrible hoagies. For more on that, read “The Hoagies of Newtown vs. Wawa”; https://www.johnmacknewtown.info/blog/?viewDetailed=201807241147]

 

The store capped off its celebration with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting and confetti drop.
