Philadelphia’s only “shelfless” Wawa at Drexel University is closing for good, ending the chain’s bold experiment with a fully digital, cashierless format. Locals who got used to ordering by kiosk or app will have to find their hoagie fix elsewhere after January 21, 2026.

With more than a dozen Philly Wawas shuttered in recent years, what do you think this means for the future of convenience stores in our city? #Business #LocalBusiness #Philadelphia
