Interesting and enjoyableBy AlanhThis book naturally celebrates the successes that helped Wawa to establish itself but it also highlights some of the areas where mistakes have also been made. Unfortunately it doesn't detail how hard it was to overcome these and turn round those errors but that is a minor oversightLike Nuts; about South Western Airlines; the importance of the way that both employees and customers are valued and involved in the business shines through and while in many Organisations cultures once set are almost impossible to change; for SME's starting out or building their Brand; the principles that both of these Companies adhere to are object lessons in how to succeed. This book identifies those key principles and provides clear examples of how they deliver so many benefits to not only the bottom line but to the soul of those who participate.I hope that Chris Gheysens publishes a follow up in 10 years to document the expansion in Florida which I am witnessing each year on my annual vacation and explain how the Organisation manages to deploy its philosophy so far from its natural home with a different population demographic and customer base. I would be queuing to buy that.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A friendly way to run a company.By CustomerAside from the odd name of the company; which is carefully explained by the author; this is an excellent treatise on how to motivate employees to concentrate on the needs and interests of customers; and to convince customers that the company really appreciates their business. Clearly explained examples of how the management successfully motivates employees and attracts customers are included. The history of the company itself is quite interesting; and descriptions of the rewards; and pitfalls; of expanding in several eastern states are very informative. It's light reading but offers a good chance to understand how a non-publicy traded company can become so appreciated and popular; when it follows its own sound insights.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fascinating; humble account of the growth of WawaBy Joshua RA fairly honest book about the success and growth of wawa; which may surprise some (Did you know selling cigarettes at state minimum was a key tactic?) The tale is told reasonably humbly and is fascinating.
