PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- When you need something quick and delicious, where do you go? Your neighborhood Wawa, of course!

And now, our beloved convenience store is officially the king of all convenience stores - even beating out rival Sheetz.

The Philadelphia-based chain has earned a loyal following for its hoagies. And who doesn't enjoy a cup of coffee on the go?

Wawa received the highest marks for customer satisfaction among all U.S. chains, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index.

Wawa earned 82 out of 100 points, beating Sheetz by just three points!

Oklahoma-based chain, QuikTrip came in second and Texas-based Buc-ees came in third, tied with Murphy USA.
