Wawa’s first-ever drive-thru is making its debut in Largo, marking a significant first for Florida. The beloved convenience store and gas station chain, is opening today at 2530 East Bay Drive.
A new era of convenience
The Wawa drive-thru concept officially received approval in late July, with construction slated to begin shortly. Unlike traditional Wawa locations, this stand-alone drive-thru will not include a gas station. Wawa initially experimented with this model in 2020 and has since seen tremendous success, prompting the expansion of drive-thru locations nationwide.
