It's been a while since I've been to a Casey's General Store & Gas Station. Every one I've ever been to has been fairly well maintained, offered along the cheapest fuel prices in the area, along with a great selection of fountain & frozen drinks, and served up cheap thin-crust pizza by the slice that's surprising tasty. This new-ish location keeps the streak alive.
The building, and all of the equipment, are nice and new. After conferring with GasBuddy, this location had the cheapest gas in the area today, without a club card. The store is well laid out, stocked deep with all kinds of goods, the drink fountain is fine turned for optional refreshment (just the right amount of syrup & carbonation), and the pizza slices are the best I've had from any gas station. Yeah, "gas station anything" is usually a compromise - you sacrifice a degree of quality in order to have something quick and inexpensive - but I've actually had some pretty decent slices from various gas stations around the country. Casey's is usually one of my favorite fast-foody pizzas. It probably won't win any awards, but it's sometimes the best bite to eat at 11 pm in the area.
My travels don't often take me near any Casey's locations - but the handful of consistently positive experiences I've had leads me to come back to Casey's when the option arises. I feel very confident that each time I stop at a Casey's, I'll get good service at very reasonable prices. I wish I could say the same about many other gas station / mini-mart chains out there. read more
