About this project
Provco Pinegood Stowe, LLC plans to redevelop the corner at 617 Old Reading Pike in West Pottsgrove Township with a 6,049-square-foot Wawa convenience store and eight fuel pumps on about 2.3 acres. The existing houses on that lot will be demolished, while the single-family home and garage on the neighboring 0.45-acre lot will stay. A trailhead parking area for the Schuylkill River Trail partly sits on the site and will remain.
