Wawa is expanding within the region with a gas station and convenience store in Baker County.
Already with a presence or filed plans in Duval, Clay, Nassau and St. Johns counties, the Pennsylvania-based chain is showing interest in the fifth county in the five-county Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The St. Johns River Water Management District is reviewing an application for Wawa to build a 5,537-square-foot station and store on 2.54 acres along Florida 228 West, north of Interstate 10, in Macclenny. It is across the street from a Walmart Supercenter.
