The Wawa location at 1110 Marlton Pike East in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, is set to close on October 8, after serving the community for 51 years. This decision follows an extensive evaluation by the company, which concluded that the store could not meet customer expectations or performance standards. Wawa has a history of adapting its stores to modern standards, but in this case, they determined that relocation or modernization was not feasible. The Cherry Hill store, which does not sell gasoline, is one of the oldest in the state, having opened in 1973. Wawa has assured that all employees at this location will be offered positions at other stores, reflecting the company's commitment to its workforce. The closure marks a significant change for local customers who have relied on this Wawa for their coffee and sandwich needs over the decades. Recently, Wawa has opened new locations in Logan Township and Penns Grove, indicating a shift in focus towards newer establishments that can better serve their customer base.
