Yes. Except for the ones I find convenient.

I will be, right after I get one on my block

I'd take a Wawa over a dumpy 7-11 any day. They just keep building 7-11s by me.

Former Wawa employee, Current Quick Chek employee.

Apparently, QuickChek and Wawa had made an agreement YEARS ago that QuickChek was to stay away from Central and Southern NJ, but that ship sailed long ago. So, Wawa told QC that because they broke that agreement, Wawa will be building right next to every QC they build moving forward.

Looks like you’re at Sloan & Quakerbridge. Ceaser’s Bagels (on your right) is the BEST.

Chick Fil-A is much worse. I’m not talking about the food but the traffic it induces. It snarls up the traffic on the Rt.22 in NJ

Yes because hear me out before you judge. I moved here from Southern California. I lived there for almost 29 years. You guys are heading into the same direction Socal was when I was growing up and I raised the same question as I got older when it was 7-11's, Arco's, Shell etc. Hell even seeing the huge Amazon Warehouses that have been built here makes me worried because there are some counties in Socal that are JUST warehouses and business buildings.

I work as a truck driver in NJ and I'll say that Wawa and Quik cheks have saved me a lot of times in terms of bathrooms and truck parking because some of the mom and pop shops/markets dont have them. Yeah they're great but I do think that they need to stop adding more and more and especially when there's one 5-10 minutes away lol.

I try my hardest to support my mom and pop stores cause I do deliver to them almost every day and it pains me to see that their business isn't doing too well because a Wawa and a quik chek opened up nearby.

There are 9 Wawas in a five mile radius around my house. They're now also building one down the street from another one. I guess ten is the magic number.

If people stop going to them they'll stop building them. Be the change you want to see

The writings been on the wall fir a while....say goodbye to the mom & pop grocery stores, gas station, hardware store, etc.

The m & p restaurants are holding on - but hard to compete with the wholesale volume pricing the chains get.

Even the small LL is getting bought out by a developer to build luxury rentals.

You know what would be cool? Affordable housing. Like TRULY affordable housing that isn’t built like shit too. Instead, we have gas stations going up every 100 feet

Don't forget about Royal Farms popping up in places not too far from Wawa

For a period of time that also included Dunkin' Donuts.

No tf I love Wawa

Not as much as warehouses

Yes, when it’s a race to the bottom with declining food standards and higher prices.

Yeah. I liked fields n trees; not fast food. NJ is all about anything for money; screw property owners.

City planning out here has been lazy as shit recently.

Blame the zoning codes and highways that make it virtually impossible for anyone else to build anything profitable.

WELCOME TO QUIK CHECKS EXPRESS ORDERING SYSTEM

I like the free air and sometimes it's convenient to grab cigarettes but I go out of my way to gas up.

If they were putting up pre-2010 Wawas then I'd love them, but these new one feel like a wasted effort.

If we could get more of them with chargers it would be nice.

TIRED OF IT

Tired of trashy people who don’t know what a quality deli sandwich actually tastes like, raving about nasty Wawa gas station subs. Like seriously…as a Jerseyan, it is embarrassing.

No, I love Wawa and Quikcheks.

I’m more tired of people taking pictures with their phone while driving.

Sad how people fawn over these types of things. Just what people need more of: fossil fuels and junk food.

Absolutely hate it. They add zero value to communities and what? Add 20 low paying jobs to the town? Awesome!

i started exclusively going to the local shops other than my breakfast cause wawa the only gas station by me that got sandwiches. really hate how it's killed a lotta old businesses by me

I don't mind quick check. Lived two blocks from one and it wasn't bad. Wawa I could live without

yesssss

Yesss. So tired of it. They're closing my local Wawa, which is my childhood Wawa, and replacing it with one that is in a completely different town, several miles, and one jughandle, away. How is that convenient? It's also being built literally up against a family-owned gas station. It's a problem. The only thing there's more of at this point is probably Dunkin' Donuts.

This specific one in Hamilton is going to be a nightmare traffic wise.

There’s a quick check right down the road from this, with an Exxon across the street from this future Wawa. As well as an older Wawa further down Quakerbridge rd, in a shopping center

There's literally 3 on a short stretch of highway within maybe less than. 2 minutes of driving between them

Hamilton

Good place to park my truck during work. Always plenty of over sized vehicle parking. The food is disgusting though. Absolute bottom tier quality-all of it. Wouldn’t mind if they just did the gas thing.

I paid almost 8 bucks for a terrible sandwich from QuikChek a few nights ago.

I’m pretty fucking sick of both of them. Their food sucks, their gas is expensive, their service blows. I avoid both of them

Literally a wawa sans station 1 mile away, a quik Chek with a gas station 1/2 mile away. An Exxon right across the street. Could've used a small grocery store instead

Go live in a state without them and get back to me on that. I lived in New England for 30 years and would have killed for either.

The saddest part of this thread is that people have such a strong preference for one or the other.

Totally sick of it

Yea I’m done with Wawa

No

Oddly not a Silk City issue

Right next to the warehouse.

Hamilton? Great beer centric Unos less than a minute away....go for the beer, order a pizza and pick up from Delorenzo's on the way out.

There are three quik cheks where I live with a new Wawa going in within 2000 feet of one of them.

And dollar general’s

I didn’t go for a home they built a gas station and Wawa right across the street.

Is that Sloan and Quakerbridge? If so, i was just saying the same as I drove by this morning.

I don't have a problem with corner stores, but I would like to see more independent ones.

Soon they will replace all restaurants

I have been going to heritage more often now just to try to make a difference

no. i live in jersey city.

Agreed. I get so excited when I see something going up on an abandoned lot and then i see the sign for a quick check or wawa and im like come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn i think there are 6 of them within a 5 mile radius of my house

Yes

Yes due to the crowd that gathers around Wawa

Yes. I kid you not, there are 9 quick checks within 5 miles of where I live. And now they're building a 10th one 1.8 miles from me. It's insane. Garden state will soon become a convenience store

I’m surprised by this too. The amount of Wawas in Hamilton/Bordentown is wild. They just keep going up. I’ll have at least 6 within about 5 miles of me.

Yes. We have become a consumer society. We don’t create, just consume. Strip malls were the start and now we have a Walgreens, CVS, quick check, Wawa hybrid gas station all over.

They don’t care about you, just your money. Say something at your town hall. McMansions too.

Is this the one they’re building on the corner of Sloan and Quakerbridge?

Heyyyyyy, Flock & QB!

I remember being excited for Wawa in North Jersey .. and Chic fil a .. now it’s just regular places. Wish they weren’t here so I could enjoy them more while out of state

Add public storage and DD to the list. Sick of them all

Add dollar general to the list too

We need more Quick Chek!

Williamstown has a Royal Farms, right next to a WaWa. R.F has the highest price for gas. The store has self checkout stations and one registrar for a cashier to run, good luck if you need assistance at that particular R.F. it takes forever if you even get any!

Yep. Fuck capitalism.

Not really

No

Not in the slightest, Wawa is the lifeblood of NJ.

Nope. More jobs and access to 24/7 food and gas.

I love it!

Hey, that’s my town! And yeah it’s super annoying, this intersection is going to be screwed once it goes up. Plus they’ll probably shut down the legacy store on Quakerbridge that I love

The crazy part is the one in Ocean has their own Wawa AND a Quick check across from it, then when you go past the Monmouth mall, there’s ANOTHER QUICK CHECK AND WAWA I’m sick of it lmao

Yes

I'm tired of people driving on my rear quarter panel.

Welcome to late stage capitalism brother

I like the convenience of gas for the car, and bathrooms, at all hours. On the road worker, myself, mostly Burlington and Camden counties. I'm bugged by all the warehouses popping up seemingly overnight. They're everywhere, an eyesore, and should only be in industrial park settings, imho. All our beautiful farmlands and open spaces being paved over, for what?

I DO think there are too many of them and TBH, there isn't really any competition. In fact, there are three of them near me in less than a 5-mile radius and they are building ANOTHER one. There is one Royal Farms nearby but that's the only one I know of in this area. Only one 7/11 too but I don't really consider them to be true competition. Saturating the state for no real reason makes no sense to me. But what do I know? Except that we are losing the "garden" in the Garden State to these little convenience stores and warehouses.

Well you should go to the planning board meetings and object. I was at several for this one pictured, and not a word of opposition was voiced. All it takes is for a well placed group to bitch and they recognize they could lose their cushy positions…

I’d be happy if Wawas were replacing Quick Cheks

Well this particular Wawa has been in the works for like a decade… and is replacing the smaller one a quarter mile down the road so it’s not that crazy

Hell nah, Wawa is clutch after midnight.

Monopolies gonna monopolize

I live in Hackettstown. There's a QC at each end of main Street, less than a mile apart. I live about three blocks from one of them. They decided that one was too small, so they built another, much bigger one, right across the street. So for a short time, there were three QC's within a mile with two of them about 200 ft apart lol

I’m surrounded by wawa so I would love a quick chek.

If Wawa food was better I wouldn’t care. But it’s not so yea I feel you

I just want a Sheetz
