Old Wawas never die. They just get repurposed.
As the convenience store chain has expanded, new "super" Wawas with gas pumps and restrooms have replaced the traditional smaller "legacy" market stores.

Staff photographer Tom Gralish has been stopping at Wawas between assignments for decades, and years ago began documenting the variety of businesses moving into the distinctive structures left behind. Most of the old locations retain their familiar look - the stone facade, double glass doors, and gabled rooftop - making them easy to spot. Want to own one? Wawa’s website lists old stores for sale: “deed restricted against convenience food and gasoline.”
