Wawa: King of Convenience Stores in Delaware County, but Lonelier in the Middle of PA
Sure, Wawa is the giant of all convenience stores.
Here.
But out in the middle of Pennsylvania, it’s got some competitors. In fact, the central Pennsylvania convenience stores market is one of the most competitive in the nation.
So how do the different retailer menus compare? asks Sue Gleiter for pennlive.com.
Here’s a breakdown:
Wawa
Wawa, Inc. is known for made-to-order hoagies, coffee, Sizzli breakfast sandwiches and new burgers and fries.
It also makes and sells its own brand of ice cream.
7-Eleven
The store is known for Slurpees with a mixed menu of hot dogs, taquitos, stuffed waffles and chicken sandwiches.
Royal Farms
This franchise is known for its “world famous” fried chicken, chicken and waffles and bacon egg croissant sandwiches.
