PHILADELPHIA – Customers who visit the more than 700 Wawa stores in Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia will have access to free Wi-Fi, thanks to a new collaboration between the convenience store chain and Comcast.

To access Xfinity WiFi at Wawa locations, customers should logon to the “xfinitywifi” SSID in the list of available networks on their devices. There is no charge to use the service and it is available to everyone.

“At Wawa we exist to fulfill customers lives every day, and part of this commitment means creating meaningful customer connection points that add the highest level of value and convenience,” said Carol Jensen, chief marketing officer for Wawa.

As a part of Wawa’s focus on becoming a one-stop-shop for its customers’ needs, the company has turned to technology to evolve the in-store experience. Comcast’s Wi-Fi solution helps enable a consistent in-store experience for Wawa’s mobile app, and the Wi-Fi service allows customers to take advantage of a free connection without having to rely on their cellular service.

To meet Wawa’s needs, Comcast designed and built an enterprise-grade managed Wi-Fi and broadband solution that includes public Xfinity WiFi for Wawa customers and private access Wi-Fi for associates and vendors. The scope of the business services implementation includes Wawa locations in and out of Comcast's traditional service areas.
