Wawa Builds a Better Burger

 

Wawa, with current store sales averaging $5 Million per store; adding a burger to the menu once again elevates Wawa, in the minds-eye of the consumer, and all fast-food retailers keeping an eye on the competition according to Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions®.

Consumers are dynamic not static and there is not a food retailer today that can mix, match, and bundle customer relevant food and beverage meal components into a perfect family meal better than Wawa according to Johnson.

Once again, leading menu development with consumer-focused interactive participatory marketing insights, the Wawa, the all-natural Angus burger is completely customizable with choice of cheese, endless fresh toppings, sauce and bacon.
