Wawa’s first Montgomery County location at 405 S Frederick Ave (355) in Gaithersburg will hold its grand opening on Thursday, March 7.
According to Wawa, “Festivities start at 7:45 a.m. with location’s General Manager doing the honors of counting down the moment when the doors open for the very first time at 8:00 a.m., with free “In My Wawa Era 60th Anniversary,” t-shirts for the first 100 customers, as supplies last, and free any size hot coffee all day long! Immediately following at 8:30 a.m., customers are invited to participate in a brief ceremony with remarks about the impact Wawa has on its community, signature Hoagies for Heroes hoagie building competition between police and fire departments, and an
official ribbon cutting with mascot Wally Goose!”
The store is located at the site of the old Becraft Antiques, across from Gaithersburg High School.
We originally reported the news of MoCo’s first Wawa back in May of 2019, with initial plans to open by the end of 2020. It has been nearly five years since Wawa has signed on, but that hasn’t deterred them from doing business in Montgomery County- they’ve submitted an application for a second Montgomery County Wawa.
