Hey Mama, where's my Wawa?

I can't believe the furor over people being overcharged for butter, eggs and water!  The Wawas that were at 20th and Locust and 20th and Chestnut are gone!

The Wawa corporation decided that Philadelphia does not want to be here anymore.  They decided that the suburbs is where they want to be.  They picked Mr Douglass over Lisa.  

If you have not been to the burbs with an SUV, they have big Wawa stores with about 100 gas pumps that seem to be full all the time.

Was it because of high taxes, crime, ability to deliver without getting a ticket?  We'll never know because they were mum about the subject.  

As for 20th and Chestnut, it has quickly reopened with basically the same items, so nothing is lost.  But 20th and Locust is available for rent.  It probably won't be a restaurant because there is no cooking allowed in the unit.

It is a big space, but we could sure use a Trader Joe's like place there.    Or if you have other ideas or would like more information about the space, please contact Fred Glick at fred@fredglick.com or 215-852-4469.
