I know that feeling. When we first moved northward of Tennessee, everybody would tell us about how great this little convenience store was. I, as someone who'd grown up thinking names like Wawa were stupid and dumb, refused to shop there for a long time, despite having to drive past it for somewhere else. One day, I was in too much of a hurry to skip them and stopped at the unfortunately named convenience store, only to marvel at its wonders. It had coffee, of course, as convenience stores tend to, but it also had a coffee bar, complete with easily poured syrup containers of sugar (if you're into that), and a variety of different creamers in half gallon containers so that I didn't have to fumble with those little creamer packs, readily available stirrers, etc. It was amazing. Of course, convenience store coffee is terrible. It's a rule -- only, this wasn't. I mean, I'm a coffee snob -- I buy my coffee from a micro-roaster who issues the beans just after degassing, and I usually prepare the coffee in either an Aeropress or a pourover system. I had an instant hot-water dispenser installed at the kitchen sink set to exactly 210 degrees... but, despite that snobbery, Wawa somehow managed to eke out a drinkable cup of coffee, and with all the extraneous luxuries they offered, it was nothing short of amazing. 7-11 and other convenience stores have started catching on to the coffee bar aspect of things, but for some reason, Wawa still stands alone in making a drinkable cup for about ~$1.
