It's hard to keep up with all the new Wawa store openings. now one is coming to Williamsport, PA near Penn College.

Folks in Tennessee could get their first glance at a Wawa store if they travel to Bellevue, a suburban neighborhood in Nashville, writes Met Wrather for Philadelphia Business Journal.

A local councilman believes Wawa is taking a look at that neighborhood, located about 20 minutes from downtown Nashville.

The store would be located near the intersection of Highway 100 and Temple Road, according to an April 8 Facebook post by Metro District 35 Councilman Dave Rosenberg.

The story on the Bellevue location was first reported by WKRN.

Metro records show the 9-acre site at 8033 Highway 100 was bought in January by Hwy 100 Investment Partners for $1.9 million.

Rosenberg posted that plans call for a Wawa convenience store and gas station on the northwest corner of the property.

The rest of the property will stay as green space.

The site has been rezoned for “certain commercial uses” according to Rosenberg’s Facebook post.

Wawa stated in June it would open its first Nashville location in 2025, with possibly up to 40 locations in the area.

The convenience store chain currently has 950 stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Florida.
