As home delivery of milk declined in the early 1960`s, Grahame Wood, George`s grandson, opened the first Wawa Food Market in 1964 as an outlet for dairy products. The milk business was a huge success, due to its quality, cleanliness and "certified" process. Toward the end of the 19th Century, owner George Wood took an interest in dairy farming and the family began a small processing plant in Wawa, Pa, in 1902. Wawa, Inc., a privately held company, began in 1803 as an iron foundry in New Jersey. South Jersey Gas, the principal subsidiary of South Jersey Industries ( SJI) provides natural gas service to over 362,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers in Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, Salem, and significant portions of Gloucester, Burlington and Camden counties in New Jersey. We are excited about the growth potential of this alternative fuel." Compressed natural gas provides an opportunity to increase the value of our fuel and convenience offer to the customer, and positions us for the future. "This joint project with South Jersey Gas is another step in the evolution of Wawa`s fuel offer, providing an alternative that is cheaper, cleaner and domestically available. "Wawa is pleased to offer compressed natural gas for the first time to our customers at our Logan Township store," said Brian Schaller, vice president of Fuel for Wawa. With compressed natural gas costing approximately one third less than gasoline at the pump and producing up to 30 percent less greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel and gasoline powered vehicles, the market for customers to make the switch to CNG, particularly fleet vehicles, is plentiful," added DuBois. "This initiative will build greater faith among the general public in natural gas as a reliable, cost-effective and environmentally friendly transportation fuel source. "We`re very excited to begin this joint project with Wawa as it`s a natural extension of the growth within our CNG business line," said Jeffrey E.
The first station slated for CNG is located in Logan Township, NJ, off exit 10 of Route 295 and within the Pureland Industrial Complex.
