    Anyone from PA remember the "WaWa"? Seriously, that's what it's called. I think it's more of a convenience store/7-11 type deal than a grocery store, but the grocery is "Giant Eagle". Really?? What a weird name for a grocery store!

    I grew up in PA...I miss the WaWa...fresh soft pretzels...porkroll & cheese breakfast sandwiches...and now I'm drooling & ravenously hungry...curse you WaWa!

    In regards to the topic @ hand...it's not a store, but I refer to FedEx as F***Ups & UPS as "Oops"...

    The Piggly Wiggly...lol laugh Only found in Georgia and South Carolina.

    Also in Mississippi. :happy: My kids get a kick out of calling it Wiggly Piggly instead.

    A lot of my mother's family is in NJ and PA so I've been to WaWa a few times- never did figure out the name on that one!

    My husband tends to refer to all the Mexican restaurants in town by the English translation of their name. His favorite one is El Norte (The North- or is it just North? Can't remember!)

    We have a convenient store called "Stop and Go", and we always call it "Stop and Rob" or "Stop and Ho". We also have a "Priceless" that we call "Pricemore".

    And of course, we have "Wally World" and "Mickey D's" and "Tar-jay"; all of the standard chain names, lol. =]

    I've ran across a gas station chain called Kum-N-Go. I hope their customers don't leave feeling used and unfulfilled...

    we stopped there en route to Tulsa. We were severely confused. Also, those employees at that store didn't look like they'd ever "go."
