“It’s official! Wawa is proud to be expanding to the middle Tennessee market,” said Joe Collins, director of store operations for Wawa. “We are thrilled to continue growing in new markets to provide the community with our one-of-a-kind offer and commitment to supporting the community. We are excited to announce our plans and officially start construction on our stores and look forward to our first grand openings to begin serving the community in 2026.”
Wawa’s plans for the market include six new Wawa stores to open in 2026 and up to 50 stores over the next 10 years.
Wawa is continuing to work on finding and finalizing details for sites under contract. Once fully permitted and ready to go under construction, it will share details along with timelines for construction and openings.
