<P> Wawa operates stores in Delaware , Florida , Maryland , New Jersey , Pennsylvania , and Virginia . Wawa 's territory once stretched into New York and Connecticut , but in the late 1990s , the decision was made to abandon the franchised stores in New York metropolitan area and New England , as it was too competitive . The abandoned stores were re-branded when they were sold to Krauszer 's ( in Connecticut ) and a variety of other convenience retailers , but most are still recognizable as they retain their distinctive `` Wawa '' design . The company continued to operate numerous stores in Central Jersey and South Jersey , and re-entered North Jersey in 2010 , when Wawa opened a new store in Parsippany . Wawa opened its 100th Super Wawa in New Jersey on October 12 , 2012 in Woodbridge . Wawa moved farther into North Jersey opening in Kearny on January 11 , 2013 and Lodi on October 4 , 2013 . The company plans to open five Wawas a year in North Jersey for the next 10 to 12 years . </P>
