I’m sure most of you have been to a convenience store. I’m not a huge fan of convenience stores, but occasionally they are, well, convenient. One of themost popular convenience stores in my area, if not the most popular, is Wawa.

Wawa convenience stores are only located in the Northeastern US, in Eastern Pennsylvania, Central & Southern New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and part of Virginia. There are 570 stores as of August 2007, with 236 of them located in New Jersey. Most Wawa’s are open around the clock, and a number of them are now selling gasoline. Every Wawa has coffee, and their is actually very good. My favorite is the French Vanilla Cappuccino. They also have deli/sandwich counters that offer sandwiches, soups and cold cuts. Their soups are always hot and each variety that I have had is very tasty.

If you’re ever in New Jersey and are in need of a coffee or quick bite for the road, this is a pretty safe bet. Happy traveling!
