It looks like Floridians are about to get more than just a place to fill up their gas tanks, as two popular convenience store chains, Wawa and Casey’s, are expanding into new locations in the state. These gas stations are well-known for offering much more than just fuel, providing shoppers with a wide range of snacks, meals, and groceries. With a new Wawa coming to the Villages and Casey’s expanding into the Panhandle, Floridians will have even more options for grabbing a quick bite while on the road.
Wawa: A Florida Favorite
Wawa isn’t new to Florida. The first Wawa store opened in Orlando in 2012, and since then, the chain has grown rapidly across the state, with about 280 locations already operating. Now, a brand-new Wawa is in the works for the Villages, bringing its popular sandwiches, soups, and coffee to even more Floridians. Construction crews are already working on a 6,119-square-foot convenience store at the corner of County Road 466A and County Road 462, which will feature eight gas pumps for added convenience.
