Word on the street is that they may be permanently leaving the strip sometime next month. Wawa only opened up here in September. Updates when/if more is known.
Prior to Wawa this space was home to BicycleSpace, who was only here briefly, and also Slaviya for a minute and back in the day, Cities. Cities of course was awesome.
