Thanksgiving is right around the corner, but Wawa is starting the holiday early.

Quick-stop chain Wawa, mainly located on the East Coast, has a very dedicated fanbase, and one of its limited-time sandwiches has an even bigger cult following — including celebrities like “Monsters” actor Evan Peters and retired NFL star Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie.

Every fall, the convenience store and gas station chain brings back its Gobbler Hoagie sandwich.

The sandwich allows customers to get a taste of turkey day before the holiday even begins, and they can get it in different variations, too.

“To heck with pumpkin spice everything … if there are Gobbler Bowls, IT IS FALL!!!” one fan raved in response to the store’s announcement on Instagram, with another thrilled customer exclaiming, “My favorite time of year!!!!”

Fans can also order the sandwich cold or as a bread-free Gobbler Bowl. People have even been known to chow down on the sandwich for breakfast.

The Gobbler was initially released in 2005 and was an instant classic, with customers rushing to get the sandwich with Thanksgiving leftovers.
