In June 2017 I posted some Wawa scuttlebutt about a Georgetown location in the former Restoration Hardware.
Melissa Weiss writes us this morning:
“@PoPville I got some hot Wawa gossip from a store manager in Delaware – he said there’s a new one coming to Georgetown. It’s going to be 2 stories, w/ a coffee bar & bakery on the second floor. Could he have been pulling my leg? Sure. but hoping he was telling the truth, bc WOW!”

“Dear PoPville,
Popped into The News Room (or is “The Newsroom”) at Fla. & Conn. Aves. NW this Sat. for for usual copy of the FT Weekend edition (fantab Arts section) and Mexican Coca-Cola in a bottle,
