Two well-loved convenience store chains have plans to grow their local footprint with new stores along Carolina Beach Road.
Both Wawa and Sheetz have new locations in the works in the developing corridor. The chains, which are both Pennsylvania-based, confirmed plans to enter the Wilmington market in the last year – an announcement that was welcome news for fans of the brands.
Now, planning is underway for two new stores. A Sheetz is proposed at 6401 Carolina Beach Road and developers are pitching a Wawa about a mile south at 6800 Carolina Beach Road. Both proposals are set to go before New Hanover County leaders later this month for technical review.
