"We are excited to spread our wings to Bowling Green and bring our unique combination of fresh food and beverage, convenience and service to this region for the very first time," said Brian Schaller, President of Wawa in a news release. "This continues our ongoing growth in Kentucky, allowing us to fulfill more lives, create new jobs and strengthen community partnerships," he added.

The expansions will create job opportunities across the state. Wawa associates also own 39% of the company through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
