Free Coffee At Wawa For Wawa Day On Thursday

TAMPA, FL - Those who love a freebie will want to hit Wawa on Thursday, April 12. That's when the convenience store is recognizing "Wawa Day" to celebrate its birthday.

On "Wawa Day," guests may treat themselves to a free self-serve coffee at any Wawa store, including Florida locations.

Founded April 16, 1964, Wawa opened its first store in Folsom, Pennsylvania. Since then, it has expanded into multiple states, including Florida, Virginia, New Jersey and Delaware as well as Maryland and Washington, D.C.

The first Wawa store sold milk produced in Wawa, Pennsylvania, at a plant started by the Wawa founder's grandfather. "Wawa" is also the Native American word for the Canada goose found in the Delaware Valley around the dairy plant, which is why the company's logo incorporates the bird.

This year the company is flying high, celebrating its 54th birthday.

Each person is limited to one coffee of any size, free of charge, as part of the Wawa Day festivities. Find the nearest Wawa stores.
