Good. Caseys is building alot of new stations as of late. They seem to really be investing in themselves and I think it will pay off.

I didn't understand 7-11's interested in Casey's to begin with. 7-11 was hellbent on getting out of Iowa altogether a few years ago.

Not only buidling new sites, but they've updated their current buildings. They look really nice. You can get a $5 footlong at Caseys now, but I'm still going for their 2 slices and a pop deal for lunch though.

First, it was a lot more than a few years ago - more like 20-25 years ago now. Second, I thought it had more to do with a bidding war that Kwik Shop eventually won than them trying to "get out".

I could go for some caseys pizza right now

I love their new stores, nice looking and most have a decent beer selection.

the only stores that I like better than the new Caseys are Kwik Trips in Minnesota, in college I went to the Kwik Trip 3 blocks from my house every day. I would love to have those here, I know they are called Kwik Stars in northern Iowa but have not seen any south of Hwy 18.

I enjoy my neighborhood Casey's and prefer them over other stores. Hope they stay around for a long time.

Ah, I remember when I used to call it pop. I call it soda now, living a little south of Iowa.

Kum & Go >>>>>> Casey's

Although, I think Kum & Go are owned by hawk supporters (what else is new).

Question: Does anyone really enjoy Casey's coffee?? It tastes like it's brewed in a shoe. I have no idea how they get away with this.

Great Iowa company though.

I don't mind their coffee...tastes just as bad as the free stuff from where I work. They have good cappuccinos though.

Well if they only offered me $43, I'd probably turn it down, too. :wink:

That may be, but Casey's insists you pay for their coffee. There's nothing good about Casey's coffee.

Borrowing money is now cheap.

Casey's makes some of the best pizza around.

 

[tccoach]

Casey's is building a new store in Indianola, at one time there were 4 here, i am assuming they will be closing one close to the new one...hoping the new store will have subs!

 

[Clones21]

They also make some of the best chicken tenderloins i have had.

Thank god! I was worried what would happen to their pizza if they got bought out.

Anyone been to the store out by Jordan Creek across the street from Kohls? The layout reminds of of some of the newer Kum & Go stores - very large, clean and stocked. The kitchen is great, and they have 2 of the turning pizza heaters full of pizza, with another one full of other foods. ........ and now I'm hungry for pizza.

Yeah, I ahve to get gas there once in awhile. It's pretty nice. They just built the exact same layout in Altoona, right off of the interstate.
