Yes, and you have to go inside the store and pre-pay for it. What a complete PITA. Went to the store on 86th and they were "out" of 87 Unleaded. Not sure these are going to last long...
Mega Mart coming to Des Moines area

I updated this last night, but Caseys is turning this into a Good Stop by Casey's. The signage all got replaced last night
It appears that's their brand that's a convenience store without a kitchen
No, from a brand perspective better to have clear delineation
Similar to hotel brands. You don't expect a Ritz Carlton stay at a Fairfield or Courtyard, but they are all Mariott brands
That building in the middle is a McDonalds. It’s the only thing separating the two.
Yea that one is hilarious. Has Casey's ever commented why they kept the old one?
SW side of Cedar Rapids...two on the same street...bottom left/top right...crazy but apparently it works for both Casey's locations??
I assume so nobody else (Kwik Star) could be on that corner.
Up until a few years ago FD had 2 Casey's within about a half mile of each other.
Walking in and prepaying isn’t a big deal when I’m saving $10.00 dollars in diesel. And all they do is scan a little card and hand it to you. There was no sign up.
On that note, it was always funny to see the QT right across the street from K&Gs HQ building.
Huxley is another small town with two Casey's that are less than a mile from each other. When they have an older store in a location that is doing well they often seem to build a new one close by.
This one has always baffled me, because the one on the corner is much newer and nicer. The one thing the other has is closer to 380 so I suppose anyone not from the area would turn there first? Just strange.
I think Kyle tried to buy that lot but QT said no thanks
I also remember hearing a rumor that during construction, if any workers had a QT fountain drink cup on site, they'd be removed immediately haha
I suspect in a lot of these situations, the old store has a better location, but the newer one has more room for a bigger store.
This is almost always the case with two Casey's close to each other (which seems to happen a lot), one is older/not as nice and the other is newer. Seems to be one of their business models, if they have an older store that is busy they build a new one about as close to it as they can acquire land and keep the old one going too.
On the other hand she doesn’t say anything when I buy machinery or cattle, she’s a keeper. I was low on gas anyway.
