On Tuesday, April 16, Wawa marked its 60th anniversary in the convenience retail business by offering customers free coffee and hosting two events in Philadelphia.
On “Wawa Day,” as the Pennsylvania-based chain of convenience stores is calling it, customers can get a free hot coffee of any size all day, according to a news release. All stores will feature vintage décor, cups and hoagie paper, and special tumblers will be on sale. Stores will also have special 60-cent promotions, including a birthday cake doughnut and some drinks.
The company expected to give away nearly 1.5 million free cups of coffee.
Special events with free coffee for Wawa Day 2024
Wawa hosted special events at the Wawa location at 6th and Chestnut streets in Center City and at the National Constitution Center.
At the Center City store, the day began with a “ceremonial coffee pour” by former Penn State and NFL star Devon Still. Wawa then recognized three Day Brightener customers who make Wawa “a special place filled with heart-warming moments,” according to the company. Wawa and The Wawa Foundation also honored local and national charity organizations, including the Fund for the School District of Philadelphia, with $1 million in gift cards.
