"Wawa, the convenience store with an incredibly dedicated fan base in Philly, opened its first retail store in April 1964. This week marks its 55th anniversary, so you know what that means: Wawa Day. On Thursday, April 11, Wawa is holding anniversary celebrations in six stores, one in every state it has a presence. The Philly event is in the giant new Wawa on Independence Mall, at 6th and Chestnut streets." - Rachel Vigoda
