The proposed gas station would be built along State Route 444 and Spangler Road.

A spokesperson for the city said that Wawa wants to revamp its plan so it can better accommodate traffic.

News Center 7 previously reported that Fairborn said no to Wawa last year when it wanted to put a new convenience store on east Dayton-Yellow Springs road.

Wawa is new to this part of Ohio, and plans on opening at least 60 stores across the state in the next ten years.
