Think this will be one of those name changes that doesn’t stick with the public. It’ll be Wells Fargo to me. Like Miller Park for the brewers. It’ll never ever be American family field
Kind of feel the opposite. Wells Fargo doesn’t exactly have a stellar reputation. And while they are a large employer in the area, it doesn’t feel like they have brought anything from a civic/charitable standpoint that people will want to hold onto. I think adoption will be pretty quick/easy.

Maybe I should edit this to ask if most of you are biased against the Casey’s in your own town? I’m getting a kick out of the comments as I read through. I’m from a small town, so I have a certain appreciation for those towns and people, but some of those gas station workers are…not great. For all of the things not great about the suburbs, my experience at Casey’s does not connect with yours. They are generally some of the cleanest/best run locations. (Prefer other locations for top tier gasoline…but that’s another issue altogether.)

Yeah, a Casey's quality all depends on it's local management and employees.

The one closest to my house is fairly decent. It should be though, they've used it in a couple of commercials. :D

Wells Fargo can EOBD. They can't seem to help themselves from getting in trouble either.

Like the other poster mentioned, the conditions at Casey's can vary wildly. The small town ones are usually decent, but many of the ones within Cedar Rapids are sketchy. More than once I've walked thru weed smoke at the front door from employees toking up.

I don't have much interest in it since I rarely visit Des Moines, I'll just appreciate that it's not Alliant spending our money on naming rights again.

The ones in the suburbs may be cleaner than a normal casey's, but if you're in the DSM suburbs you're comparing to K&G and Kwik Star, both of which are typically much more clean and well-run, especially Kwik Star.

Not exactly sure.
I’m in a Casey’s yesterday and they were asking for ones. Cashier said their money truck does not come until Thursday. I asked why don’t they walk 2 blocks and go to the bank. Guy shrugged his shoulders and said we can’t. Now if that isn’t F’d up.

Hope they have an extra line to sell lottery tickets to a 60 year old woman with an oxygen tank.
