If you notice there are no WaWa's - except on the perimeters -
within most of West or Southwest Philadelphia; the same is true for
Citizens'- the "people friendly"- bank which has no real
representation in West and Southwest Philadelphia. I can drive
down to Cape May and pass by WaWa's at regular intervals along the
route right into to the center of Cape May, itself, but it seems
like the convenience store has leap-frogged over large areas of
Philadelphia. I guess it's all just the ebb and flow of the free
market, unless they are receiving special aid or consideration from
the city or state while doing business in the city. Then it would
be a problem.
