Ohio Opens 1st Wawa Location

I don't wanna be dramatic, but this might be one of the best things to happen to Ohio since The Buckeyes and Cedar Point.

Wawa just opened its first Ohio location just outside of Cincinnati in Liberty Township — and yes, people actually camped out overnight to be first in line. I lived in New Jersey for a bit (Wawa territory), and let me tell you… this is not just a gas station.

Wawa is a lifestyle.

It's the only place you can grab gas, the best coffee you've ever had, and a made-to-order hoagie that'll ruin all other sandwiches for you. Their breakfast sandwiches? Top-tier. The mac & cheese? Ridiculously good. And the coffee and creamer? Unmatched. I'm not exaggerating — I've waited years for this moment.

This Liberty Township spot is the first of up to 60 Wawas coming to Ohio over the next several years — with 8–10 opening just this year. So yeah. If you've never been to a Wawa, prepare to understand the hype. And when they finally open one near Columbus? I will cry. In public.

Ohio, welcome to Wawa Nation. You're gonna love it here.

On 4/16, we’re opening our first-ever Ohio store in Liberty Township—and we’re celebrating Wawa Day, which marks 61 years of serving the community! 🎉❤️ pic.twitter.com/ooGOfMvFWw
