Wawa, the popular Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain, has announced plans to open three new locations in Indiana this summer, with the first store in the state having opened just last year in Daleville. The new stores will be located in Lafayette, Anderson, and Muncie, as part of Wawa's larger expansion strategy to open 8-13 locations in Indiana over the next 5-8 years, with a goal of over 70 stores statewide.

Why it matters

Wawa's expansion into Indiana represents the company's continued growth beyond its East Coast stronghold, bringing its signature made-to-order food, coffee, and convenience offerings to new markets. The openings also signal increasing competition in the Hoosier state's convenience store landscape as major chains vie for market share.

The details

The three new Indiana Wawa locations are scheduled to open this summer, joining the first store that opened in Daleville in May 2025. To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Daleville location, Wawa will offer customers a free hot coffee of any size on Thursday.
