🟢 NOT PRIVATE EQUITY OWNED
Wawa
convenience store · Wawa, PA
“Family-owned for 200+ years. Some things PE can't buy (yet).”
Why It's Different
- •Wood family holds 59% of shares; employees own 40% through ESOP
- •ESOP established in 1992 gives workers real ownership stake
- •No outside investors, no venture capital, no private equity — just hoagies and loyalty
