A fresh Wawa site opens its doors at 1095 Route 1 this morning at 8 a.m. Customers can grab free coffee until Oct. 5, while special $6 meal packages mark the start of business. Early birds who make up the first hundred visitors will snag free shirts. Local heroes step up to compete: Edison's police face off against firefighters in a fast-paced sandwich assembly challenge. From its Pennsylvania roots, Wawa now runs about 300 shops across the state, part of its 1,100-strong network in the Northeast. Since its first shop opened in Folsom back in '64, Wawa keeps growing.
