NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A convenience store chain that has already made its mark in locations across the country is officially making its way to Davidson County.

Though a few setbacks with zoning and the Tennessee Department of Transportation have pushed back the project's timeline, a new Wawa is coming to the intersection of Mt. View Road and Murfreesboro Pike. The Metro Councilmember for the area, Joy Styles, told News 2 she's thrilled the land is finally being cleared and the convenience store is officially on the way.

Wawa convenience stores are most common along the East Coast and in Florida, but the beloved chain announced an expansion into Middle Tennessee earlier this month. Two locations are already slated for Clarksville and Murfreesboro.

Styles, who said she's been pushing for this since 2022, said the Antioch Wawa will be slightly different from the other two locations and she's looking forward to seeing the vision come to life.

"I am so grateful that we are finally moving on the site and glad that everything is now in order with Murfreesboro Road and TDOT and all the things," Styles said. "Now, we can move forward with laying this foundation and then getting the building built and open."
