6 Things to Know About Wawa’s New Cherry Hill Store

Wawa's fourth location in the township opened Friday.

It’s (almost) one-of-a-kind.

If you head to Pennsylvania or Virginia, you can find more than 300 Wawas with self-service lottery machines—but in New Jersey, the new Cherry Hill store is only the second with the big green terminal.

It’s built for speed.

When’s the last time you saw a Wawa with a front and back door for customers? Chances are good the answer’s “never”—at least until you walk into the Haddonfield Road location. Heading back out is just as quick, thanks to the store shifting tobacco products to a single, dedicated register.

At least for the first 10 days the store’s open (so that's through Oct. 20, for you non-math majors). Caffeine fiends, consider yourselves enabled.

It’s embracing the latest fuel trends.

If you’re rolling in a truck or one of the many new car models running diesel, you’re in luck—it’s not just regular through premium at the pumps.

It has plenty of touches to make it fit.

From stonework on the façade to copper lamps inside, to a modified footprint and Yale Avenue being detoured away from the neighboring streets, this store was built to blend. “We find a balance between residents, neighborhoods and businesses,” Mayor Chuck Cahn said.

It’s not the last you’ll see of Wawa in Cherry Hill.

This one’s store No. 5 in the township—and the second with an attached gas station—but Wawa officials said further expansion locally is possible.
