“Yet another Philadelphia Wawa is packing it up and calling it quits from the city.
The most recent location is at Headhouse Square, located in the middle of Society Hill, an otherwise affluent neighborhood on extending north from the tourist-area of South Street…
Wawa said in a statement that it ‘Constantly conducts careful and extensive evaluations of business performance and operational challenges of all stores on an ongoing basis…’
Locations at 12th and Market and 19th and Market in Philadelphia have both shuttered.
Wawa spokesperson Lori Bruce said at the time: ‘Despite reducing hours and investing in additional operational measures, continued safety and security challenges and business factors have made it increasingly difficult to remain open in these two locations.’”
