Wawa's first Georgia store opened in Bainbridge in November.
Officials say over the next five to eight years, they plan to open three to four stores per year in the Peach State. That includes a location in Pooler at the corner of Pooler Parkway and Pine Barron Road.
The convenience store chain you know today originated in Pennsylvania as Wawa Dairy in 1902 and has expanded down the East Coast.
