Wawa Reverses Center City Abandonment

Wawa #103 at 912 Walnut Street won’t be the only Walnut Street Wawa in Center City.

What started as a Twitter rumor was confirmed by Michael Klein. Wawa is coming back to Center City Philadelphia, and in a big way. The local convenience store is under contract with the former Robinson’s Luggage at Broad and Walnut.

The new store will have 5,300 square feet of space and a source told Klein there will be seating inside.

What isn’t clear is whether this opening will be followed by other Center City stores or if this new location will differ from the traditional Wawa.

Property has more from Mike Gorman of Metro Commercial Real Estate.
