‘Mare of Easttown Day’ Coming to Wawa
Fans of “Mare of Easttown” will like this one!
Wawa has announced they are celebrating the newest store opening in Delaware County Thursday with “Mare of Easttown Day”.
The store will open at 8:00 a.m. with free coffee on opening day and limited-edition Wawa Delco shirts for the first 100 customers, as supplies last, followed by an outdoor ribbon cutting ceremony at 9:00 a.m. with an official dedication to “Mare of Easttown Day.”
To build on the local excitement and give back to the community, and in appreciation of HBO’s Original limited series Mare of Easttown, Wawa is launching a limited-edition “Mare of Easttown Spicy Cheesesteak,” at the Grand Opening on June 10th and exclusively at 42 stores in Delaware County for one week up until June 17. Made on a Shorti® roll with beefsteak, cheddar cheese sauce and spicy cherry pepper relish, as a nod to how spicy the show is, the hoagie is sure to satisfy one’s hunger and desire to help the community as Wawa will make a $10,000 contribution to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
“We are honored to be featured in local creator’s Brad Ingelsby’s HBO show, Mare of Easttown, that kept you on the edge of your seat week-after-week and made Delaware County, including Wawa, proud,” said Cathy Pulos, Chief Operations Officer, Store Operations and Delco native. “We couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate then bringing our local friends and neighbors to our quite timely Delco store opening to enjoy the specialty hoagie, talk about the show and of course give back to the leading pediatric institute, CHOP.”
Kate Winslet worked alongside Chester County Detective Christine Bleiler, to get into her character, Mare Sheehan, for the show. Bleiler will be at the Wawa store Thursday for the opening and debut of the “Mare of Easttown Spicy Cheesesteak”.
The new location is located at 418 W. Baltimore Pike, Upper Darby, PA 19018.
