On Tuesday, August 12 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Wawa will hold a ceremony at 5109 Veterans Pkwy as it starts building a new convenience store and gas station in Murfreesboro.

The company is growing in Middle Tennessee and has not given details on when construction will finish or when it will open—residents can share their favorite Wawa memories to get a chance to be a VIP at the event.
