Keep Wawa Williamsburg Alive!!
The Issue
The Wawa on Richmond Road in Williamsburg , VA has been targeted for closure by corporate coffee bean counters. This location is the highest-grossing non-gas station Wawa in the United States. This location has fed and caffeinated generations of William & Mary students and community members for generations . This location may well have served Thomas Jefferson when he attended William & Mary—No Doze and Gobbler subs were a staple to the Founders. This Wawa therefore has important social, culinary, and historical significance. if true would give it important historical significance. The decision to close rests on a new corporate direction for Wawa to operate gas station locations only. Yet it is a metaphysical certainty that all patrons of this location have at one time gotten gas there. Especially from the Buffalo Mac and Cheese. For these and other reasons we cannot at this time think of, we petition to keep this location open into perpetuity.
