PHILADELPHIA - For the first time in over a year, Wawa will celebrate Hoagie Day on Thursday by dishing out thousands of free hoagies at Independence Mall to hungry Philadelphians.
Hoagie Day has been a part of Wawa's Welcome America event since the convenience chain became the lead sponsor over a decade ago.
Hoagie Day starts with the "Morning Build" where more than 100 Wawa employees spend five hours crafting 17,000 sandwiches, according to the chain.FOX 29's Karen Hepp gets a crash course in hoagie making from a Wawa employee on Hoagie Day.FOX 29's Karen Hepp was at the National Constitution Center to learn more on the massive charitable operation."The community supports us so we need to give back to them, it's what we do, it's why we're.
