Is Wawa coming to York County? It appears so.

The Hanover area may soon get a Wawa.

According to the May 5 Penn Township Planning Committee meeting minutes, Paramount Realty Services requested several variances to township ordinances to place a service station at 1007 Baltimore St.

During the meeting, consultants representing the requests stated that the property is comprised of two outparcels totaling 2.07 acres, according to the minutes. It is on the current site of Pine Creek Structures on the corner of Baltimore Street and Clover Lane in Penn Township. The proposed plan consists of an approximately 5,585-square-foot convenience store with eight gasoline pumps.

According to the minutes, the applicant said "the site is ideal for the proposed WAWA with dual frontage provided on Baltimore Street and Clover Lane."

This would be the first Wawa in York County.

Joseph Mizrahi with Paramount Realty said that WAWA "has plans to expand in the region, and this is one of the first stores in the area. He added they are proposing space for EV charging stations for future installation," according to the meeting minutes.

The requests were approved 4-0. The Penn Township Zoning Hearing Board could not be reached for comment.

In a recent news release, Wawa said it plans to double its store count over the next three to five years in central Pennsylvania, with the first store opening as early as 2024. The convenience store chain said in the release they plan to open 40 stores in the region, and one of the first locations they confirmed is in East Pennsboro Township at the Reserve at Summerdale off Routes 11/15.

A spokesperon for Wawa, Jennifer Wolf, did not confirm if any stores were planned for Adams or York counties, but did say "we are continuing to spread our wings in existing markets. While we can’t confirm specific locations or timelines for construction at this stage in the process, we can say that we are actively looking into potential sites for new Wawa stores in Central PA along the Susquehanna River."
