Get Free Wawa Coffee In Media Thursday, April 12

MEDIA, PA – Those who love a freebie and coffee 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 any-size coffee at all Wawa stores, including the locations in Media at 100 E. Baltimore Pike and 435 Baltimore Ave.

Founded April 16, 1964, Wawa opened its first store in nearby Folsom.

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.
