Wawa got its name from the Ojibwe word for the Canada goose, which is a prominent symbol in the region where the company was founded. The first Wawa store opened in 1964 in Pennsylvania, near a former dairy farm that had the name Wawa. The company adopted this name to reflect its roots and connection to the local area. Today, Wawa is known for its convenience stores and gas stations, offering a variety of food and beverages.
