4 thoughts on “Wawa breaks ground on first Indiana store in Indianapolis

  1. With all due respect to Council member Riley, it seems from traveling on the local roads, that the warehouses built before infrastructure was in place generated an awful lot of traffic as well (and still do) and pressure on many narrow county roads. 23 said yes to Wawa and the new jobs and economic impact it brings, but Greenfield says no. I suspect odds are “yes” would end up being a better economic decision, but admittedly I don’t have as much insight as the council does. Competition is typically good and often helps the existing businesses get better.

  2. After seeing the Wawa web site, looks like a restaurant claiming to be another convenient mart. After GetGo and now Wawa, we’ll be sending our convenience money to Pennsylvania. Greenfield might have had a good idea. How many gas-convenient stores are enough?

  3. GetGo is good but the different locations are not consistent because the old Rickers facilities have not been upgraded in many instances. Wawa is a consistent product from location to location and though I like GetGo, Wawa is on a much higher playing field. I have lived around Wawa’s in the past and look forward to being near one when I go on business.

    Not all money goes to Pennsylvania as taxes on employee income, gas and food sales stay here. If you want to keep all the money in Indiana, then an Indiana based convenience store chain needs to step up. Family Express is from Illinois and also upping their game here and Casey’s from Iowa is also here.
