Coffee and Wawa lovers can get in on this offer on Tuesday, April 16, as the company expects to hand out over 1.5 million cups of coffee nationwide.

In addition to a free cup of joe, all Wawa locations will select a “Day Brightening” customer, who can score a sash, mug, and a week’s worth of coffee.

Customers will also be able to cash in on special deals, like 60-cent promotions including birthday cake donuts, teas, juices, and lemonade! The store will be decked-out in 1960s fashion and offer vintage decor cups, hoagie paper and special tumblers.

On April 16, 1964, Wawa, Inc. opened its first store in Folsom, Pennsylvania. Fast-forward 60 years, Wawa now has over 1,000 stores nationwide.

“As we celebrate this momentous 60th anniversary milestone, we want to thank our customers and associates for creating the unforgettable connections that have propelled us through the years and have allowed us to continue to go beyond filling orders, to fulfilling lives every day,” Wawa’s CEO, Chris Gheysens, said. “On April 16, we invite our customers to celebrate our history and our future, and toast with us as we celebrate the countless day-brightening moments that we have had together through the years.”
