Wawa is on the way in Scranton. A project to build a Wawa along Moosic Street (Route 307) near Meadow Avenue in South Side continues to progress with construction of the frame of the building. A sign along Moosic Street says, “You're Gettin' a Wawa. Coming Soon!” NDA Moosic LLC of Vestal, New York, received Scranton zoning approval in 2022 for a Wawa on the 5-acre site at 1130-36 Moosic St. and 117 Meadow Ave., as well as an Aldi grocery store on a rear portion of the property. The site sits along southbound Interstate 81's entrance ramp from the Biden Expressway, a short distance south of Exit 184 for Moosic Street (Route 307). Prior work under the Wawa project involved demolition of a vacant building at 1130 Moosic St. that years ago was a Profera's Pizza and later Electric City Hot Yoga; and environmental cleanup of contaminated soil at the former industrial tract. Installation of gasoline tanks began in late May. This was the first of the five potential Wawa locations in Lackawanna County proposed in recent years by other developers and that are in various stages of planning. The Southern Pennsylvania-based gas station and convenience store chain has been expanding north in the Keystone State to compete against rival Sheetz, which already has six stores in Lackawanna County. Wawa's current northernmost locations are in Wilkes-Barre Twp. in Luzerne County and several in Monroe County.
