CHANGE OF PLANS: Philly convenience chain mulls expansion halt after viral riot video
Wawa, a belovedconvenience store, might nix plans to expand in the city after one location was ransacked by dozens of looters last month, according to a Philadelphia councilman.
A Wawa location in Philadelphia’s Mayfair neighborhood was ransacked by up to 100 youths last month, in a video that quickly went viral. "It was approximately 50 to 100 people," Wawa, founded in 1964, is headquartered in Chester Heights, which sits just outside of Philadelphia. The convenience store chain has grown a cult following, not only in the city, but in other states up and down the East Coast as it expanded in recent years.
This year, a handful of Wawa locations in Center City closed early in response to groups of youths ransacking convenience stores in the area. "Wawa has invested a lot of money, as you know, into the city," Driscoll added in his remarks. "Welcome America is sponsored by Wawa. They've already closed two Center City locations that they spent millions and millions of dollars on because of the lawlessness that was going on in their stores.
