And yet again, Molino is forgotten. We need one in Molino!
I heard about Wawa & stopped at one while driving to south Fl. The sandwich I ordered was really good. Spoke to a person who went there on grand opening. She went in for a hot dog & said they didn’t have them. She told now what gas station doesn’t have hotdogs?
NEED ONE bad in Molino…right next to Dollar General on Highway 29 & 196
We definitely need one in Molino. Need another option for groceries other than Tom Thumb, or the Dollar General.
When you leave Wawa you must go around the roundabout not turn immediately left before going around it. This is if you go out the driveway on the side of the store.
With Pine Forest Road all ready bad at this intersection, will wait and see what this added traffic pattern does to flow of traffic here. Always backed up. Needed a light at Detroit Road and not Sharon Road. Once new development is done, more traffic will be added to this bad intersection
Put one in molino. The tom thumb sucks
What a traffic headache yesterday. Going to get worse andlots ofaccidents. NE, please keep a count on accidents within 500 feet of thenew light at WaWa
