Here’s a look at some of the images of the Wawa’s outlined in the schematic plan submitted to the Gaithersburg Mayor and City Council.
Welcome to the Wild Goose from the land of the Hidden River! As someone who grew up with this chain, I feel like welcoming both its products and the additional employment opportinities.

I go to Gaithersburg high school, there are many local shops for students to get food rom directly across the street from the school close to where WAWA’s will be built. No matter what traffic will always be an issue, but it’s not going to stop children from going. If it was an ongoing problem they’d close the food shops across from the school. So there isn’t a reason to stop WAWAS from being built
