Brevard's first Wawa

MEC, a Melbourne-based general contractor, has been selected to bid on Brevard's first Wawa convenience store. The new location will be at Wickham Road and Pineda Causeway.

MEC has built seven Wawa's in Florida, a chain quite popular to New Jersey and Pennsylvania residents. Wawa expanded into Florida with their first store in Orlando in 2012. The stores offer fresh foods, beverages, award-winning coffee, fuel services and surcharge-free ATMs.

Wawa began as a dairy in 1902 when they produced and delivered fresh milk to homes in the Philadelphia area.
