Super Wawa Opens In Williamstown - Tuckahoe and Glassboro Roads

Williamstown is the latest Super Wawa location to open in South Jersey, with the Grand Opening celebration taking place last Thursday at the intersection of Glassboro Rd (Route 322) and Tuckahoe Road.

While I was unable to attend the festivities, the official Monroe Township Facebook page recapped the morning’s events which featured elected officials including Mayor Wolfe. Customers were treated to free coffee, t-shirts, and many friendly faces.

For each opening Wawa conducts a fun “Hoagies for Heroes” event and for Williamstown, the Fire Company and Police Departments battled each other in a fun hoagie building competition… Congrats to Williamstown Fire for bringing home the trophy!

I stopped over this weekend to check out the new location… it’s still the familiar Super Wawa design that we’re familiar with in New Jersey, but with each location I see they continue to evolve the interior design further, always looking to enhance customer convenience.

This Wawa was approved back in 2019… I’ve written about it several times in the last year going back to January of 2024. A month ago I was the first to announce the opening date which was April 10^th

As everyone is aware, Wawa is on a many-year effort to convert their smaller legacy stores into the larger Super Wawa properties, offering full gas station service.

This location replaces an older legacy store which is caddy-corner on the intersection. As is the normal operating process when replacing a Wawa store, that location immediately closed with the new opening, is being emptied… and it will likely be offered up for sale to some other retailer.

For the new Wawa, the building exterior and pump area seems very consistent with the New Jersey branding. To fit within the large property the gas pumps are aligned in one straight row with six different stations.

Inside there are some changes to the store, some of which were introduced with a recent store remodel in Bellmawr but it seems they’ve further evolved the design.

One key change from the original Super Wawa designs is for years the deli food prep area pushed out into the store, such as on Sicklerville Road in Gloucester Township.

The newer design for this Williamstown Wawa features a smaller store interior food prep area in the open store space, but includes much more behind-the-scenes cooking areas which is better suited for some of their products such as the pizza ovens.

Additionally with the growth in pickup and delivery orders, this location features a cubby-hole rack attached to the side of the food prep area where workers can easily place the orders for customers to grab.

Directly next to the food prep area is the soft drink space.

A change from the Bellmawr remodel is this Williamstown location maintains the much larger coffee space, more in line with what we’re familiar with from Wawa… it is connected to the main food prep area so it makes it easy for the team to manage the coffee urns. The B

Williamstown gets the more traditional insulated thermos style coffee urns, not the digital ones that we’ve seen in Bellmawr and Sicklerville.

While you get a lot of things right, I will tell you that this coffee situation in Williamstown is better than what they did in Bellmawr remodel… Bellmawr’s coffee area is just a bit too crowded for the morning commuters.

Design aspects that are very familiar are the placement of the refrigerator units and product shelves to the right.
