"WAWA MEANS WILD GOOSE" THE STORY OF WAWA DAIRY
by Maria Thompson, Wawa, Inc. Company Historian/Archivist
In 1902 George Wood opened Wawa Dairy Farms to sell milk bottled under sanitary conditions. In the 1910s and 20s Wawa added numerous additional buildings in the interest of health and increased its share of the region's fresh milk market by adding cream to its product line. Wawa opened the first Wawa Food Market in 1964 and continues to be a leader in the regional convenience store market with the recent addition of gasoline sales.
