For the past two years, my friends and I have been arguing about Wawa and Sheetz. We keep going back and forth about which one is better, and we all know the answer: it's Wawa. I have been to both and have tried a variety of things on both menus. No matter how many times I go to Sheetz, Wawa has my heart and always will because of these 11 reasons.
1. Wawa has more locations.
Sheetz has 500 locations while Wawa has 720. The more the merrier, right?
2. Hoagiefest.
Do I even need to say anything else?
3. Wawa has more employees.
Sheetz has about 17,000 employees while Wawa has about 30,000. More jobs are good.
4. Wawa has a more modern and welcoming design inside.
When you first walk into Wawa, it has much brighter colors and feels more open. When you first walk into Sheetz, it feels very dark due to all of the dark red throughout the store. Overall, Wawa just feels happier.
5. You get to specifically pick what you want or don't want on your food.
Yes, at both places you can do this. However, you get to pick exactly what you want at Wawa. When I went to Sheetz, I wanted a cheese steak with no green peppers. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to say I didn't want them like I could have at Wawa.
6. The gas is cheaper.
At two locations in MD (in the same area), the gas is one cent cheaper at Wawa today. Usually, the gas is cheaper by 5-10 cents.
7. The food is healthier.
A small order of mac n cheese at Wawa is 320 calories. A small order of mac n cheese at Sheetz is 590. Sheetz may give you more food, but it is worse for you.
8. They have a bigger selection of pre-made food.
If you don't want something made at Wawa, they have stuff that is already pre-made. Sheetz does, too, but they have a much smaller area, and they are almost always out of it when I am there. Wawa has breakfast sandwiches, pretzels, wraps, mini wraps, salads, and so much more.
9. There is a Wawa, Pennsylvania.
Both of them may have been founded in PA, but there isn't a Sheetz Township now is there? No, there isn't.
10. They are offering free coffee on Wednesdays the entire month of July.
Their coffee is delicious, so you're welcome.
11. Wawa has two mascots.
They have a goose and a hoagie. Sheetz doesn't even have one mascot.
I rest my case. Go to Wawa!
