Wawa closes Philly stores over 'safety' concerns​

A spokesperson for the company said, "All associates from these two stores will be offered continued employment at Wawa. These two closures do not necessarily impact or limit the potential for future stores in Philadelphia County."

Two Wawa locations are closing in the Center City portion of Philadelphia after the popular convenience store and gas station chain has experienced an increase of crime at its locations.

According to local news, a statement from Wawa released Friday read that the stores are closing due to "continued safety and security challenges and business factors."

Wawa is good. I buy gas from them at least once a week. They have a reputation among the working class for good food, but I found it lacking. Restrooms are easily accessible.

Outta control?

A group of violent Philadelphia ATV drivers was caught on video attacking police by throwing bricks and bottles at the officers before fleeing the scene, police said.

The group unleashed its assault on police just one day after a Republican city councilman accused the administration of Mayor Jim Kenney, a Democrat, of instructing officers "not to enforce the law."

The Philadelphia Police Department shared video on Tuesday showing "a large group of people riding dirt bikes and ATV’s" around a gas station near Delaware Avenue and Spring Garden Street, cops said.
