Founded more than 50 years ago when the first Wawa food market opened in Folsom, Pa., the unique convenience-store chain has developed a cult-like following in Philadelphia and the surrounding Mid-Atlantic region.
With a devoted fan base that swears by its made-to-order sandwiches, it's not a surprise that its loyal customers would be interested in a piece of Wawa stock.
Unfortunately, Wawa is a privately owned company, so you can't buy shares of the stock on public markets. However, the company offers a generous stock ownership plan for employees, and at least 9,000 employees own shares in the company as they are given access through a retirement plan.
