Wawa
As reported in an earlier blog, Wawa Inc. is looking to open a new convenience store/gas stations here in Port Orange, but they are already indicating interest in a second site. Wawa recently signed a ground lease on a 1.85-acre site at the southeast corner of Dunlawton Avenue and Yorktowne Boulevard, next to the new Altamira Village Shopping Center. Wawa is also interested in the property at 1031 Dunlawton Blvd, where the Asian Fusion buffet restaurant is located. Wawa opened its first Florida location in July 2012 and has already built 14 stores between the Orlando and Tampa areas.

Port Orange had the highest commercial permit volume for the 2nd quarter of 2013, riding high off the newly constructed BJ’s Wholesale Club. Many excellent stores and restaurants continue to take up shop in our beautiful city due in part to the great residents here. The city has hinted at a few more businesses that may be coming to Port Orange soon including a WaWa Convenience Store, a Popeyes Chicken, and Pollo Tropical.

The Publix Supermarket on Taylor Road may be expanding.
