It was far from an ordinary day, as residents eagerly gathered for the grand openings, making it clear that Wawa’s expansion is something special.
A Community Celebration
The atmosphere at the Cottage Hill Road and Sollie Road intersection in west Mobile was nothing short of festive.
At 8 a.m., a crowd of excited locals had already formed, ready to be part of the celebration.
The Excelsior Band added a lively touch with their music, and Wawa’s mascot, Wally Goose, brought smiles as people danced and snapped photos.
The sense of community was palpable, as friends and families lined up to enjoy free coffee and Wawa’s famous made-to-order hoagies.
