PHILADELPHIA — Wawa Thursday opened its newest store in Philadelphia near the South Philly sports complexes, and it's the only location in the city to offer beer. The new store, located at 2600 Penrose Ave., held a grand opening Thursday. Dubbed the "Stadium Store," this new location also features a gas station, curbside pickup, mobile ordering, and delivery options. Wawa fans will find all their favorite foods and drinks at the store, as well as new offerings such as the burger, in addition to beer. This new store is the sixth Wawa in Pennsylvania to offer beer. The store's opening ties in with the city's bid to host FIFA World Cup 2026 matches. "At Wawa, we have always been committed to playing a role in our hometown's signature and milestone events, and we feel the grand opening of our store closest to the Philadelphia sports complex is the perfect time to share our support for Philadelphia's Bid to host FIFA World Cup 2026TM and prepare the city to welcome the world," said Chris Gheysens, President & CEO, Wawa. "Of course, beyond this exciting announcement and the events we have planned, this new store will allow us to continue to grow and serve our Philadelphia friends and neighbors. We look forward to an exciting summer ahead full of growth, new connections, and fulfilling lives!" Wawa dedicated the grand opening to celebrate fun, free and historic events, including this year's Wawa Welcome America! Festival. The festival will feature a preview of the interactive exhibit – Philadelphia Soccer 2026 Pitch at the Independence Visitor Center – that will launch during the festival to encourage the public to show their support for potentially the next historic sports celebration Philadelphia is working to make happen.
