BREAKING Wawa is shutting down two Philly stores amid 'safety and security challenges,' the Delco company says.
Two of Wawa's downtown Philadelphia stores will be shuttered as the Delaware County-based chain continues"to be focused on doing everything we can to monitor and work with local authorities to address challenges impacting operations in any other stores," the company announced.
The convenience stores to be closed in Center City are located at 12th and Market streets and 19th and Market streets. "Despite reducing hours and investing in additional operational measures, continued safety and security challenges and business factors have made it increasingly difficult to remain open in these two locations," the company said in a statement."All associates from these two stores will be offered continued employment at Wawa. These two closures do not necessarily impact or limit potential for future stores in Philadelphia County.
The announcement comes two days after City Councilman Mike Driscoll told business leaders at a public forum in Northeast Philadelphia that Wawa officials were considering halting new store openings in Philadelphia amid rising crime and lawlessness in the city, according to
