All stores throughout Wawa's footprint are also paying homage to the past with vintage décor, old-school coffee cups and back-in-the-day hoagie wrappers.
In Philadelphia, Wawa hosted two celebrations, one at its 6th and Chestnut store in the morning and another at the National Constitution Center throughout the day.
Customers at the Philly store got to meet former NFL star Devon Still and got their hands on special promotions. The National Constitution Center is even offering free admission Tuesday and the unveiling of "a special exhibit designed to teach young people about American business through the lens of Wawa's innovation, growth and ability to connect communities."
The love continued with the distribution of $1 million in gift cards, including to a school District of Philadelphia fund. Wawa also paid homage to so-called "day brighteners" -- customers who bring joy to Wawa locations.
Wawa opened its first store in 1964 and now has more than 1,000 locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Florida and Washington, D.C. On Tuesday they expect to give away around 1.5 million cups of Joe.
Like cheap stuff as well as free stuff? Wawa is also offering up 60-cent promotions, "including a special 60-cent birthday cake donut as well as teas, juices and lemonade," the convenience store chain said.
