South Florida Is Getting The First Drive Thru Wawa In The State
Yes, you read that right! Florida is about to be the new home for a drive-thru Wawa. The first location will open in Largo.
The tagline is Fresh Food On The Fly. Get in the express lane to your Wawa favorites. Now you get your favorite coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and beverages served fresh from the Wawa Drive Thru – including Combo Meals, Value Deals, Kids Meals, and more.
According to I Love The Burg, the first Wawa Drive Thru will open at 2530 East Bay Drive in Largo. Construction for this stand alone location is slated to begin soon and will not be a gas station. Of course more locations are planned across the country, including more in Florida.
Here’s hoping Fort Myers, Naples or Cape Coral are next up in Florida for a drive-thru. Until then, we have plenty of gas station Wawa’s to go to. We’ll just have to get out of the car for our food.
25 Restaurants Are Now Open On Sanibel And Captiva Islands
It’s hard to believe Hurricane Ian hit almost a year and a half ago and while we still have a long way to go, more than 25 restaurants are now open on Sanibel and Captiva Islands.
I’ve been spending a lot time on our local beaches. I love that here in Southwest Florida, even when there’s nothing to do, there’s something to do. And that something for me, is always heading to the beach. I usually head to Sanibel to either Bowman’s Beach or Tarpon Bay Beach. I love Gulfside City Park too, but rarely do I make it out early enough to get a parking spot. It’s been SO nice seeing all the people out enjoying the beaches, it’s been busy nearly every weekend.
There’s also a lot of businesses reopening too. Between lodging, restaurants, shopping, and things to do like kayaking and fishing charters. I will say that driving around out there just breaks your heart. It’s not so much that there’s debris everywhere, it just looks very bare and to see huge homes and condo complexes just crumbling, is so sad. Slowly but surely though, things are reopening and the island is welcoming visitors back out to the islands to stay, play and dine. You can find a full list of open businesses here
