Reply to comment by IPA_lot_ in 2022 Top Grocery Stores by Sales in Philly - Giant > Shoprite > Wawa by peetahvw

I would've assumed the beer/wine at Acme, and the fresh meats/produce would at the very least put them ahead of Wawa.

PS: some of the prepared foods at the supermarkets are decent...I'd happily take a Giant/Acme pre-made hoagie over the travesty that Wawa hoagies have become

It probably did. You're comparing the revenues for 303 stores to revenues for 67 stores and they're a rounding error apart.

Giant has a great combo price for hoagie, chips, and soda. It was $7, then became $8, now it's $9. Still a solid deal. The hoagies themselves are meh, but they at least have taste. What Wawa did with their hoagies is downright shameful. It's straight up cafeteria food

Totally forgot about the beer and wine. Hmm that is interesting.

Agreed about the hoagies. Wawa has gone downhill. But their spicy Italian panini and the chicken salad club is still great.

I've seen plenty of hot takes on wawa hoagies and sure, but this is a bridge too far for me!
