RICHMOND, Va. – Wawa will open its newest Richmond location Thursday on the Boulevard, right across from the Diamond.

Wawa will also be offering free food and drink samples and free coffee through October 28.

“At Wawa, we have been honored to serve people across the Commonwealth of Virginia for the past 20 years and can’t wait to reach even more customers in communities across the Central Virginia area with the opening of three new stores,” said Chris Gheysens, Wawa’s President and CEO.
