Last weekend's Phoenix had an updated on the new Super Wawa that is coming to the corner of Rte's 23 and 113:
And yes, you did read that correctly, Phoenixville is set to become home to yet another pharmacy.
Wawa, Incorporated is bringing even more convenience to the Schyukill Township and surrounding areas, including Phoenixville, which shares a border as well as a community with the neighboring town.
Construction of a new Wawa Food Market and a CVS Pharmacy and convenience store is in progress near the intersection of Rt. 113 (Kimberton Road) and Rt. 23 (Nutt Road). The project is expected to be completed by the year's end, according to Tom Ruther, supervisor of A.T. Construction Co.
This new addition will provide more options for commuters on their morning drive as well as late night needs. Whether it's a quick stop off for a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich or a much needed gasoline refilling, Wawa provides. Most of their locations are open for business 24 hours a day 365 days per year and feature surcharge free Automated Teller Machines at all stores.
The new location will cover a total of 212,992 square feet of ground. Roughly 89,000 of which will be dedicated to seal coated asphalt dedicated
to driveways, parking spaces and filling stations. The area will be 'bordered by woodlands' by definition of Phoenixville Borough ordinance. This is, in part, to comply with zoning restrictions regarding light pollution. The new structures' lighting will not be visible from adjoining streets or lots, nor will the lighting be reflected in the sky.
The market itself will cover 5,589 square feet and the CVS will be 12,900.
A total of 10 gasoline pumps are planned in the construction, with a lighted canopy to provide shelter from inclimate weather. According to the official Wawa Inc, website: Wawa, Inc is headquartered in Wawa, Pennsylvania and currently operates a chain of over 570 convenience stores in a five-state area, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. The company currently employees roughly 16,000 local residents. Wawa is a privately owned company.

Thanks!
Yes- I know I drive 10 miles round-trip and the money probably evens out, but it is the principle of the thing. I refuse to support the big E who stayed high in spite of hard economic times and those that followed the big E.
