Recently, there has been a lot of discussion on the topic of establishing a local Super Wawa. The controversy is demonstrated through the signs posted throughout New Hope petitioning this new change being enforced.
While signs may indicate that there are a large number of people who are working to enforce this change, this change has not yet been discussed by and local officials as the topic is intensely controversial. Additionally, many who are in favor of the Super Wawa and see it as an opportunity to have a convenient place to purchase gas, and also to have a greater food variety, being that it is a larger convenience store than the local Wawa that is currently in New Hope.
“I don’t really see the issue with it, I think that it’s fine; however, I will miss the old location because I’ve grown up with it, but I think it will be better for the town,” said Kayla Paul-Koch.
However, many other citizens who are opposed to the move and feel that a Super Wawa would cause more damage to the community as it might weaken local economy. Furthermore, many locals might also want to preserve the historical feel that New Hope has to offer.
While both sides have not come to a consensus, it’s safe to say that the inhabitants of New Hope only want what's best for the town.
