Wawa moves forward with plans for South Riding area store

The location for the new store is just east of Loudoun County Parkway on Highway 50.

The potential Wawa store on Route 50 in the South Riding area continues to move forward, slowly but surely. The location for the new gas station and convenience store is just east of the Route 50/Loudoun County Parkway intersection on a piece of land next to the Meadows Farms Nursery.

The Burn first broke the news about the possible location two years ago — in May 2019. But there hasn’t been too much activity since then. Now, paperwork has been filed with the county asking for approval of a site plan for the new gas station and c-store. It appears from previous filings that Meadows Farms will continue to operate from its site and that the station will be built on land tucked in between the nursery and the Self Storage Plus location next door.

If and when work starts rolling, this will be the third Wawa station underway in Loudoun County. The first (and so far only) Wawa opened back in 2017 off Old Ox Road right at the Loudoun-Fairfax border. A second Wawa is in the works for the northeast corner of Russell Branch Parkway and Gloucester Parkway, just west of State Road 28.

The gas station wars in Loudoun County are nothing to sneeze at. As The Burn has been reporting, besides the Wawas in the works, the Sheetz brand has been very aggressive, building multiple new locations around the eastern half of the county. In Ashburn, the local Rubino family has opened one Filling Co. Gas & Grub location with two more coming soon. And the Maryland-based Dash-In convenience store/gas station brand is working on its first Loudoun County location south of Route 50 near Gum Spring Road, with a second one in the works for Ashburn at the southeast corner of LoCo Parkway and Evergreen Ridge Drive.

No word on when construction will begin for the Wawa at Meadows Farms, much less an opening date. We’ve got a call in for more information.

    Great another gas station. Just what south riding needs. This area is turning into gas station hub. Time to move out.

    Okay, we’re done with the gas stations and fried chicken spots! Give us a nice grocery store, dining options like Sweetwater, Mike’s American Grill, hell, even a Outback Steakhouse would do at this point!
    You had our hopes up high with Avonlea only to be let down when it fell through. We lost Food Lion which I actually liked and Ruby Tuesday is gone as well. Come on developers! You are not hearing the needs of those who live in South Riding, Stone Ridge and other surrounding areas. I love where I live but geeze, it’s been over 11 years! Give us a Wegmans, Target, Mike’s American Grill, Trader Joe’s please, a nice movie theater but please, please, please no more fried chicken and gas stations!
    I’m about to give up chicken all together because of this! Deep sigh! 🙁

    I love Wawa, I besides all the complaints about “another gas station”, they serve great food!
    This would be the best gas station we could have in South Riding, so stop the whining.
    You should be complaining about “another day care” or “nail saloon”, before you complain about another gas station!
