Even though it's a little skeevy at times, there is a Wawa at 20th & Chestnut. I think I can deal. Even though it’s a little skeevy at times, there is a Wawa at 20th & Chestnut.

The Dorcester kicked them out, the lease was up. That WaWa made serious cash. It's getting retrofitted for an "upscale dining" space You all can stop with the conspiracy theories.

And as for Wawa, I feel like they're looking to leave urban areas like ours in general. Suburban "Super" Wawas with parking and gas pumps are probably way more profitable. (See for reference the Wawa that used to be down on Moyamensing.) I’ve heard through the grapevine at the Dorchester simply no longer wanted a “convenience” concept in the space.
