Collingswood Wawa Closes After 36 Years on Haddon Avenue
Corporate offices say the store was closed when it couldn’t be modernized or expanded. Its opening day manager, Tate Perazzelli, recalls the impact the business had on the community and on his own life.
Chef Richard Cusack’s first restaurant, June BYOB, was named for his mother. In May, he’ll relaunch his Audubon eatery, Café Le Jardin, as Pops’ Trattoria in honor of his dad.
Rather than launch a new concept, Dominic and Lindsay Piperno will carry their fine dining brand down Haddon Avenue into their second location, which is anticipated to be completed in 2026. They aren’t certain whether they will re-imagine the Collingswood space or find a new tenant for it.
