It started with Mohsin recording homeless people who stop by the store, wanting to showcase the personalities that he was encountering, and some of the folks featured gained a fan base. One man, Chris, is known for his dance moves, and Mohsin has caught him on camera busting a move—one video even garnered seven million views. Another man has been captured singing on the TikTok account, and a fan sent him a karaoke machine. The videos have become so popular on social media that people around town have started visiting the Tower Gas & Mini Mart for the possibility of appearing on his TikTok account because patrons never know when Mohsin will ask a customer to sing a song in exchange for a soda.
Diesel Oops
New Jerseyites remember the first time they pumped their own gas outside of their native state. There’s a learning curve, but most come out of the process unscathed. One native New Jersey woman’s car did not, however, after her first solo pump—as captured on her TikTok. User @nessybabyyy pumped gas for the first time after moving from New Jersey to Maryland for college, and although the gas made it into the tank successfully, it was the wrong type of gas. She pumped her tank full of diesel and needed a tow because, of course, an unleaded-only vehicle won’t run on the green-nozzle stuff.
Famously Fixated
Although HBO’s miniseries Mare of Eastown may be over, Wawa’s impact on the cast is not. Kate Winslet, who played Mare Sheehan, subscribed to the Delco Times to help her get into the role, as the series takes place in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and she said oftentimes there were articles about Wawa or offers in the paper. “It almost felt like a mythical place,” Winslet said in an interview. Winslet did finally walk into a Wawa and said it “felt like an honor.” Evan Peters, who played Colin Zabel on the show, said, “It’s a one-stop shop. It’s got everything in there.” Peters is a huge fan of the The Gobbler, a hoagie available during the Thanksgiving holiday.
