One of America’s largest convenience store chains, Wawa, has gained a cultlike following in its home markets of Philadelphia and South Jersey due to its sharp focus on food and customer service. Its revenue is estimated to have more than doubled since 2014, and its workforce has grown nearly 90% since 2016 as it rapidly expands to other areas of the country. So, can the nearly $19 billion convenience chain take on major chains and local players like 7-Eleven, Buc-ee’s and Casey’s General Stores?
