Wawa Stores Coming To North Carolina

Author Chris Allen

If you are a fan of Wawa gas stations I have some great news. Wawa is working its way onto North Carolina. They just broke ground for their first store in the Kill Devil Hills area.

WAVA-TV says it is not the only location planned for North Carolina. In a press release, Wawa announced it is one of thirty-five stores set to open in the state in the next five years, all east of I-95. Wawa is predicting to have 50 stores in the state in the next eight to ten years.

The next location planned to begin construction this year will be in Elizabeth City, at Halstead Blvd. and Rt. 17. In the fall, Wawa is currently planning community events to announce plans for stores in the Wilson and Greenville markets.

North Carolina Island Most Sought After Travel Destination For 2023

It’s always a double-edged sword when one of your favorite spots ends up on a list like this. For one, you want to see it succeed and be recognized for the gem that it is. But there is also the part of you that wants to gatekeep, keep costs down to visit, and avoid those summer crowds. And that’s definitely how I feel about this. HomeToGo conducted an in-depth analysis of traveler search patterns to reveal how U.S. and international travelers are planning their spring and summer vacations in 2023. One of the discoveries they made was the most in-demand travel locations. These are the spots both abroad and domestically, that have seen the largest increases in demand. And one of my favorite North Carolina island destinations was named the number one most sought-after travel destination.

In fact, another North Carolina town was ranked in the top 5 of these rankings as well. And this is with stiff competition, including spots in Greece, France, and Cyprus. I mean, it’s a place I love to visit year-round, but I’d still pick Europe above it! You can read the full HomeToGo study here including statistics on other summer travel trends. Or keep reading to see which North Carolina island ranked as the most sought-after travel destination nationwide for summer 2023.
