fitting to have a Wawa inside the station (not a full store, but coffee and bakery counter only).
Now wondering if Wawa was a PRR customer in the day for creamery shipments.

New store territories were contiguous (DE, MD, DC) until they found there was demand from Philly ex-pats in Florida.
You should go inside some time, they have quite good food.Definitely. They have a wider variety than typical convenience stores with more "real" food like soups and salads versus pre-processed. Hoagies are a specialty.
