Need a caffeine boost? On Wawa Day, a cup of joe won't cost you a thing.

To celebrate its 61st anniversary, Wawa is giving away free cups of any-size hot coffee at all locations on Wednesday, April 16. To get your free coffee, just head to the self-serve coffee bar inside your local Wawa store.

The Pennsylvania-based convenience chain expects to give away nearly 1.5 million cups of coffee today across its more than 1,100 locations.

And while a Wawa run in the Delaware Valley is about as common as a "Go Birds" greeting on a Sunday, shoppers in Ohio are just now getting their very first taste of all that Wawa has to offer.

Wawa opened its first Midwest location in Liberty Township, Ohio, on Wednesday morning, where people lined up before sunrise to get their hands on hoagies, coffee and more.

The expansion marked the 10th state Wawa calls home, 61 years after the company opened its first retail store in Folsom, Pennsylvania.
