Market Street in Kingston may soon become home to a Wawa convenience store/gas station.

According to our newsgathering partners at the Times Leader, Kingston Administrator Paul Keating confirmed that Wawa has expressed interest in adding a location in the vacant lot previously occupied by Franconi Auto Parts on Market Street.

Keating says there are a few more steps that need to be taken before the project receives final approval. He did not have a timeline on when the project might receive approval but said the Parks Department approval is critical for the project to move forward.

He further said that the project may rest on whether or not Wawa can get approval on a plan to build onto a portion of Reese Park, located off of Carle Street. It’s bordered by Bowman Street, South Landon Street, and an alley.
