Wawa loyalists looking to fill up on a Shorti hoagie or Sizzli breakfast sandwich now have more options than ever to satisfy their cravings as the convenience store chain expands its footprint along the East Coast.

Some 50 years after Wawa after opening its first store in Folsom, Pa., the privately held company now boasts more than 720 locations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania Delaware, Virginia, Maryland and Florida. Expect that total to grow even more this year.

Wawa spokeswoman Lori Bruce said the chain plans to open roughly 50 new stores in 2016. Half of those will be located in Florida, according to Bruce, but there are also new locations planned in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

"We look forward to continuing to expand our reach and serving more people with the Wawa experience than ever before," Bruce said.

Wawa, which said in March that it planned a massive hiring surge, has also announced plans to open its largest store in Center City Philadelphia.

In addition to opening new stores, Wawa is also renovating older ones.

The chain gave a facelift to more than 40 stores last year, according to Philly.com, and plans to renovate 175 other stores this year and next year.
