Does Warminster Need a New WaWa?

The anticipation for the new store is palpable. However, there could be some drawbacks from having the popular WaWa set along Street Road.

Work hustles along on the new WaWa as anticipation keeps building for the store located on Street Road, in the middle of town.

Even though it may be a bit too late to consider, it does not hurt to take step back and wonder if the new WaWa is really necessary.

There are plenty sources for fresh coffee, including locally owned Yum Yum Donuts across the street, plus Dunkin Donuts, Burger King, Starbucks and 7-Eleven, all walking distance from the new WaWa.

Sandwiches are also in abundance throughout town, available at Wiz Wit, Steak & Hoagie Factory, Fresh Works, Not Just Sandwiches and any pizza shop, just to name a few.

With the added attraction of new gas pumps, increased traffic is expected on an already busy Street Road. Homeowners on Orchard Lane have repeatedly expressed concerns about more activity, lights and noise across the street.

Township supervisors said a new eight-foot fence will be installed across the street from the homes, working as a buffer from the sights and sounds of the new WaWa.

Do the positives of a new WaWa outweigh the potential negatives? Sound off below.
