Wawa to close Port Richmond store after 45 years

Driving the news: The Northeast Philly outpost is open from 5am-11pm before shutting its doors for the last time after 45 years.

What they're saying: Wawa spokesperson Jennifer Wolf said in a statement the store "cannot deliver the experience customers deserve or continue to meet performance expectations."

The big picture: The company, based in Media, Pennsylvania, celebrated its 60th anniversary of operating convenience stores earlier this year.

• Wawa still runs 36 stores in Philly, two fewer than in 2016.

What's next: The convenience chain is closing another location at the corner of 21st and Hamilton streets in September after the property owner didn't renew the lease.
