Headquartered in Ankeny, Iowa, Casey's General Stores, Inc. operates nearly 2,900 convenience stores in 20 states. Casey's offers self-service fuel, a wide selection of grocery items and an array of freshly prepared food items. Among the most popular of Casey's prepared foods are its made-from-scratch pizzas, donuts, and sandwiches. Casey's operates from three company distribution centers, enabling an approximate delivery of 70% of in-store products as well as 60% of fuel.
The first store opened in 1968 in Boone, Iowa. In the years following, Casey's found success by opening stores in other small towns across Iowa. Approximately 2/3 of Casey's stores are still found in areas with populations of 20,000 or fewer. Casey's has a strong balance sheet and owns nearly all of its assets, which allows the company to consistently take advantage of growth opportunities.
