card solutions are the best choice for Wawa, but what really is important is
our belief that Wright Express has a culture of excellence, customer focus and
building relationships similar to Wawa. That will be the basis for our long
term partnership,” said Norman Turiano, Senior Manager of Fuel Marketing at
Wawa.
The launch of the program is part of Wawa’s goal to add more
value and services to its customers and communities.

to delivering a high level of customer service. It is an honor to begin a
partnership with a company who works so hard to please customers. I’m confident
Wawa will be successful in their expansion efforts,” said

About Wawa, Inc.
Wawa, Inc., a privately held company, began in 1803 as an iron
foundry in New Jersey. Toward the end of the 19th Century, owner George Wood
took an interest in dairy farming and the family began a small processing plant
in Wawa, Pa, in 1902. The milk business was a huge success, due to its quality,
cleanliness and “certified” process. As home delivery of milk declined in the
early 1960’s, Grahame Wood, George’s grandson, opened the first Wawa Food
Market in 1964 as an outlet for dairy products. Today, Wawa operates more than
580 stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
