I grew up very close to Wawa PA, and remember driving by the farm in the 60's and always admiring it. Basically, I was able to watch Wawa grow all these years up to and including now. I am a cult member. Last time flying into South Florida I drove directly to the nearest Wawa despite having to listen to my wife whine at me, and of course got a hoagie (Italian of course) for the car ride to Naples. Living in Ecuador now, I will jump at any chance when in the states to visit this classic.
I've been with Wawa for 13 years. Howard was the CEO when I started. He really helped make Wawa what it is today! Our current CEO, Chris Gheysens is great, but Howard really was a LEGEND!
Quaker roots: honesty, integrity, and patience. Noteable for course of the company set via *convincement*, just as many of us join the RSoF. Perhaps the next leap is to accomplish prosperity without growth. If anyone can do it, Friends can.
Wawa doesn't drug test and there employees r smoking pot, and the other Day I seen a girl nodding out over the mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese, never going to them stores again. Who wants to eat something made by drug attics, bound to get sick and probably something u can't get rid of!!
