Wawa Inc.
 PROFILE
It's not baby talk -- when folks say they need to go to the Wawa, they need groceries. Wawa runs more than 500 Wawa Food Markets in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Wawa stores are noted for their coffee and their salad and deli offerings, including hoagie sandwiches; about 50 outlets also sell gas. Unlike many convenience store chains, Wawa has its own dairy (which supplies the Wawa stores and about 1,000 hospitals, schools, and other institutions). The company opened its first store in 1964, but its roots go back to an iron foundry begun in 1803 by the Wood family; food operations began in 1902 when George Wood started a dairy in Wawa, Pennsylvania. The Wood family owns 52% of the company.
