Hey Starbucks, Bet You Can’t Beat This!

 


Wawa’s $5 Big Breakfast Deal Redefines Value, Speed & Convenience

Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions® knows a winning foodservice formula when he sees one, and Wawa’s latest move is set to shake up the breakfast game. From February 17 through March 24, Wawa is rolling out its unbeatable $5 Big Breakfast Deal, offering customers any size hot or iced coffee, a Sizzli® breakfast sandwich, and a hash brown—all for just five bucks. With 1,100 locations executing at peak efficiency, Wawa proves why it dominates the convenience dining space in both price and speed of service.

Mix & Match: A Bundled Deal That Delivers

The food industry has long known that mix-and-match meal bundling is a pricing strategy that boosts both customer satisfaction and sales. Wawa’s $5 Big Breakfast Deal gives customers full control over their morning choices while keeping costs low. With over 10 Sizzli® varieties—including classics like Croissant, Bacon, Egg & Cheese and the limited-time French Toast, Sausage, Egg & Cheese—this deal offers premium variety at a price Starbucks and fast-food chains simply can’t match.


Speed Matters: Wawa Wins on Efficiency

Speed of service is the name of the game in breakfast, and Wawa’s streamlined, self-serve model runs circles around competitors. Customers can grab their breakfast in minutes—no long lines, no waiting for a barista. Wawa’s self-serve coffee pour bar features seven varieties, including Regular, Decaf, French Vanilla, Hazelnut, Cuban Roast, 100% Colombian, and Dark Roast, with rotating limited-time flavors like Caramel Cream. Prefer iced coffee? Wawa’s handcrafted, freshly brewed iced coffee is customizable in dozens of ways through its in-store ordering kiosk, ensuring a quick and personalized experience every time.

Wawa’s Legacy of Breakfast Innovation

"We are on a mission to make mornings easier for our customers, and our new $5 Big Breakfast Deal does just that by providing a hearty offering at a great price that’s sure to get your morning off to a great start," said Mary-Rose Hannum, Chief Marketing Product Officer at Wawa.

First introduced in 1996, the Sizzli® breakfast sandwich remains a customer favorite nearly 30 years later—proving that Wawa understands the evolving needs of breakfast consumers better than most. With an unmatched combination of value, speed, and quality, Wawa’s $5 Big Breakfast Deal is a game-changer in the foodservice industry.

Starbucks, McDonald’s, Dunkin’—consider this your wake-up call.
