A second Wawa convenience store in Rocky Mount is slated to begin serving customers in less than a month. The doors are set to be opened at 8 a.m. Dec. 3 at the North Winstead Avenue and Curtis Ellis Drive intersection, according to Alyson Mucha, a public relations representative with the Wawa chain. Mucha said in a Monday afternoon email that the store opening is going to be followed by a ceremony at 11 a.m. And Mucha said that the chain is finalizing some elements of the opening and is going to provide an alert with more details in the next few weeks. The future second Wawa is just southwest of the North Winstead interchange with the busy U.S. 64 and roughly a couple of miles from the U.S. 64 interchange with the Interstate 95 Maine-to-Miami corridor. The Wawa chain, which is based in Pennsylvania, is famous for hoagie-style sandwiches, coffee and other made-to-order items. Rocky Mount Mayor Sandy Roberson said after Monday night’s City Council meeting that he believes Wawa constructing the second future location in the city has generated much interest. “And I am looking forward to their opening,” Roberson said. “It’s moving along nicely,” he said of

Buc-ee’s seeks recommendation from planning board for rezoning

The Buc-ee’s chain of travel centers plans to seek a Rocky Mount Planning Board recommendation today that the Rocky Mount City Council rezone a piece of land to pave the way for future development just off the Interstate 95 interchange for Gold Rock. The Planning Board is set to meet at 5:30 p.m. today at City Hall. Buc-ee’s has stated that the chain is under contract to purchase about 34 acres on the southeast side of the interchange northwest of Rocky Mount. That includes the location of dilapidated motel that long ago was a Howard Johnson’s motor lodge and wooded areas near the old motel. Gold Rock was annexed into Rocky Mount in 1997; however, some of the land that would be part of the planned purchase is not part of that satellite annexation and would have to be annexed by the City Council. Representatives of Buc-ee’s would like that land to be annexed and to be rezoned from Nash County general commercial to city B-2 commercial corridor to match the zoning for the rest of the land to the north in Gold Rock that Buc-ee’s also is eyeing for purchase. Land zoned B-2 commercial corridor by the city allows

Normandy official, veterans help RMA bring history to life

For students at Rocky Mount Academy, Veterans Day was more than a lesson from a history book. On Wednesday, it was an opportunity to shake the hands of men and women who wore the nation’s uniform, hear their stories and meet a visitor from Normandy, France, whose life’s work has been dedicated to ensuring the sacrifice of an American soldier from Rocky Mount is never forgotten. Veterans lined the campus roadway Wednesday morning as students and families welcomed them to the academy’s annual Veterans Day celebration. The parade and school being in session on the federal holiday is part of a long and proud tradition for the private school, staff and students. And the celebration was a campuswide event that incorporated the participation of the entire school. The program honored veterans from every branch of military service while emphasizing the values of duty, sacrifice and citizenship that educators hope students will carry into their own lives. “We teach history in our classrooms,” Head of School Beth Covolo told attendees. “But you, our veterans, lived it.” The ceremony’s special guest was Jean-Vincent du Lac de Fugeres, a Normandy native and elected official there whose connection to eastern North Carolina stretches back
