Wawa wants to sell beer in Chadds Ford store

Philly.com reported today that Wawa wants to sell beer at its store on Naamans Creek Road in Chadds Ford.

According to a Wawa spokesperson, the company views this as a "single-store expansion." The spokesperson also said they may look to expand their offerings in the future.

The Philly.com article points out that the nearby Acme and Whole Foods already sell beer, and the Wegmans opening this fall will sell beer as well.

Under Concord Township rules, a public hearing must be held since the store is proposing to change its product line. The store would also have to obtain a liquor license.

Wegmans hopes for November opening in Chadds Ford

Wegmans announced last month that its store under construction in Chadds Ford is slated to open on November 8, barring any weather-related delays. The 140,000 square foot store will be the centerpiece of a shopping center called Brandywine Mills.

The store manager and a Wegmans attorney appeared before the township supervisors to request a liquor license transfer last month. The license is for the Pub, which serves beer and wine along with a full restaurant menu.
