    Last Thursday,  Florida's first Wawa drive-thru restaurant debuted in Largo, at 2530 East Bay Dr. The 2,016-square-foot store took the place of a vacant KFC drive-thru, and is the popular gas station chain's third drive-thru concept in the nation.

    As previously mentioned, the new drive-thru concepts do not have gas or pre-packaged items found at typical Wawas, but instead focus on a limited menu centered around the chain's deli sandwiches, wraps and the famous breakfast Sizzlis.

    Last August, before it was even completed, the drive thru was put up for sale with a price tag of $3.2 million. Apparently, a buyer has yet to be found, since the property is still listed with a now reduced $2.9 million asking price .

    The sale comes with a 10-year corporate-backed lease agreement from Wawa, a scheduled 7% rent increase, land ownership and "zero landlord responsibilities."

    The Wawa drive-thru concepts are part of the chain's plan to double its footprint and open 100 new locations around the country by 2030, says the company.
