Deerfield-News.com-Deerfield Beach,Fl-Don’t get me wrong I am awaiting Deerfield’s Wawa’s as much as the next guy who grew up in Jersey.Seems Wawa for an investment of $66000 plus a fee to The City of Deerfield Beach of 12 grand has gotten the “curb cut” onto Hillsboro Boulevard that Walgreens did not or could not get.
Curiousity had the better of me on this one,how can the nations largest pharmacy not have foreseen when they originally built the free standing Walgreen’s on S.W.12Th and Hillsboro they were going to have ingress and egress problems. One wouuld think that Walgreen’s real estate aquisition team is as good as Wawa’s?
Entering into the old Walgreen’s was like going into a cornfield maze in the fall, with an entrance only from S.W 12Th Ave into a poorly configured footprint.
FOIA requests from The City of Deerfield Beach show Wawa’s applications and fees,did not seem like that complicated a or a long process.
