Wawa will open three new stores in central Indiana this September — one in Brownsburg on September 18 at 8 a.m., one in Greenfield on September 19 at 8 a.m., and one in Westfield on September 24 at 8 a.m. Each location will hold a ribbon cutting at 8:30 a.m. and announce local community partnerships as part of the chain's planned expansion.

The Claire’s store at 14550 Clay Terrace Blvd. in Carmel is set to close by the end of the month after the chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy; local management confirmed that this closure is one of 291 planned nationwide as the company faces economic challenges—other locations will remain open.
