On Thursday, August 10th, Wawa will return to College Park following a 16 year absence. The original College Park Wawa location was adored by many students throughout the years until it its closure in September 2007. Now, Wawa returns with its location at 10050 Baltimore Ave, next to the College Park Ikea store. The celebration will allow customers to grab a pic with Wally Goose and the first 100 customers at 8am will get a free t-shirt.
Last November, Wawa opened a location nearby at 9100 Riggs Rd in Adelphi, MD. That location, which features a 5,619 square foot food and beverage store and a gas station, is located on the Southwest corner of Adelphi Rd and Riggs Rd, just across Adelphi Rd from the existing 7-Eleven and Popeyes.
Wawa’s upcoming location in Gaithersburg, the first in Montgomery County, recently erected coming soon signage at 405 S Frederick Ave. earlier this summer and some much anticipated progress has been made as the frame of the convenience store and gas pumps are now up. If progress continues at the current pace, we would not be surprised to see Wawa open by the end of 2023. Photos by Cordell Pugh.
