Gas station eateries are big in some states but they’re not necessarily the most popular way to dine in New Jersey. Still, you know can always head to WaWa for a delicious sandwich, soup, salad or side. They’ve got breakfast burritos, mac n’ cheese, and more, made to order and served hot and fresh. You can expect a similar experience at Quick Chek, but food is rarely the focus. One chain, new to New Jersey, is trying to change that.
Royal Farms is a growing chain of gas and convenience stores based out of Baltimore, Maryland.
