Wawa Food Markets, a privately-held company, was founded in 1803 in New Jersey, and incorporated in 1865 as the Millville Manufacturing Company, a textile company with mills in several states and sales offices across the country. The owner, George Wood, opened a small milk plant in Wawa, PA, in 1903. The milk plant specialized not only in processing but also in the delivery of "doctor certified" milk. The first Wawa Food Market was opened on April 16, 1964 in Folsom, PA. From the beginning, Wawa made a commitment to fresh food. Today Wawa is still owned and operated by the Wood Family, which employs more than 12,000 associates with almost 500 stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Wawa does nothing but deliver the best in the industry, which is why they stand behind all of their products. Wawa offers a large fresh food service selection, including Wawa brands. Each year, Wawa serves more than 300 million customers, sells over 100 million cups of their award-winning coffee, sells more than 24 built-to-order hoagies, and sell more than 92 million quarts of their own line of dairy products, juices, and teas. Wawa also receives 20 million cases of fresh produce in all stores each year. In addition, a handful of the Wawa Food Markets also offer gasoline. Wawa's competition includes 7 - 11, Cumberland Farms, and Uni-Marts.
