The Lehigh Valley is getting another new Wawa. 

The company said it plans to open a new store in Northampton on June 4 at 10 Stonegate Drive. 

The new store will be the 33rd of nearly 100 stores Wawa expects to open in 14 states in 2026. 

The new Wawa will offer fresh food, beverages, convenience items and fuel.   

Wawa plans to hold a Grand Opening Party beginning at 7:55 a.m. with Wawa General Manager, Anna Daumer, counting down to the moment when the doors will open for the very first time at 8:00 a.m. 

At the event there will be free “Wawa Grand Opening Tour in the USA” t-shirts for the first 100 customers and free any size hot coffee through June 7.  

There will also be a ceremony to highlight Wawa’s 200+-year history in American business, celebrate the new store team and honor everyday heroes with a “Hoagies for Heroes” hoagie-building competition between first responders benefitting local charities.  

“As our nation celebrates its 250th birthday in 2026, we’re proud to be a company with more than 200 years in American business, now across 13 states in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Midwest markets. We are excited to celebrate by opening nearly 100 stores this year as we spread our wings to reach even more new communities across the country,” said Brian Schaller, Wawa president. “Our ongoing growth and expansion allow us to invest in and provide meaningful support to more communities and create new jobs and opportunities for our associates to soar in their careers.”  

To build each store, Schaller said Wawa will invest more than $7.5 million and employ, on average, 140 contractors and local partners. Once open, each store will employ an average of 35 associates.
