A proposal to build a new Wawa in Voorhees is expected to return for further review, according to a Patch report by **Anthony Bellano**. The plan involves redeveloping the former Kmart site on Route 73, where Wawa previously sought approval for a store with gas pumps.
The project had already gone before local officials, but it is now set to be revisited as part of the township’s land-use review process. The proposed development centers on the long-vacant retail property, a prominent site in Voorhees that has drawn attention as officials and residents consider future uses for the parcel.
According to the report, the application includes a Wawa convenience store and fueling station. The proposal has generated interest because of the property’s visibility and the broader implications for traffic, redevelopment, and commercial activity in the area. The article notes that the plan is not entirely new, but rather a return of a previously discussed concept that had been under consideration.
The former Kmart property has remained empty since the retailer closed, and the Wawa proposal represents one possible next step for the site. As the matter comes back before local officials, the review is expected to focus on the details of the application and whether it meets township requirements.
Patch reported that no final outcome had yet been determined at the time of publication, and the proposal’s future would depend on the township’s review process.
