Wawa is named after an American Indian word that, depending on the source, is either a town name, or the Indian name for "goose", or possibly both. Both Wawa and Sheetz tend to open very large gas stations with many more pumps than is typical, and offer a wide range of food and beverages, and a sandwich counter. Their gas is decent but not Top Tier. My understanding in my work with Wawa corporate is that they do better QA and inventory control than the typical off-brand gas retailers, so you are less likely to have problems with their products. Sheetz and Wawa have very similar business models, but started out in different East Coast USA regions.
