“We are excited for the opportunity to welcome Wawa as they become part of Trotwood’s business community,” Page said. “This project reflects continued interest in our city and supports our vision for growth, job creation and expanded amenities for our residents and visitors.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Wawa to this key intersection,” Hauck said. “This project transforms a vital corner into a vibrant community hub, providing new jobs and a premier amenity for our residents and commuters alike.”
Joe Collins, Wawa director of store operations, said the company is excited to join the Trotwood community.
