Mega Mart coming to Des Moines area

Their food is better than Casey's
I dont stop at my local Caseys, it never has anything but reheated prepackaged stuff in the annoying, noisy packages. The pizza deal that spins is empty most of the time. I just quit going about 2 years ago. The higher ups must not care? They don't want my money, in my opinion. Gas station food is gas station food, its mostly crap. But for breakfast a slice of pizza fits the bill if I am on a "mission" that day.

There's still some level of green space on the north side of 80/35 on the newer interchange of NW 100th, where they put that new Kwik Star in a year or two ago.

Possibly also North Merle Hay Road.
 
I know...I'm sick.
Give me Casey's and a slice of pizza, prepared by a meth addict that wiped the toilet bowl with it.
Full disclosure. I'm at least 800 miles from the nearest Casey's.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Casey's pizza has went way done hill.

I would say it would rule out 75% . It would have to be right off 80/35, in wdm, Johnson, dsm, ankeny, ... there's already too much in altoona prob.

None of those spots have the neccasry space availble though. Except for maybe North Ankeny.
 
To be honest many of the Kum & Go stores in Cedar Rapids already were.

I think it's funny how now that Kum and Go is gone, everybody is whining about it. I never willingly would go to a Kum & Go. To me, they were far below Quicktrip and Kwik Star. Some of the ones in Des Moines were closer to Git and Go than Kwik Star.

Been in two so far in Central Iowa and both smelled like incense. Smoke/vape stores that also do convenience.

It was/is entertaining watching them slowly rebrand the stores. Didn’t have signage for awhile and some still have missing signage. Then they still have Kum n go red on the store front, pumps, and overhang over the pumps. Gives me a chuckle every time.

Yeah I started referring to them as the Oval stores to Mrs. Velo because so many of them had an emply oval sign out front.

Meanwhile, on topic Mega Savers are interesting. No pricing really on their cold vaults. I describe them as vape shops that sell gas.
In Omaha, if there is a discovery of card skimmers on gas pumps, 9 out of 10 times it's at a Mega Saver

Somebody previously posted that Casey's pizza has gone downhill.
Maybe, if you're within a handful of miles (like most Midwestern folks).
I'm at least 800 miles from the nearest, Ogallala, NE.
I begin drooling around Cheyenne when headed east. No apologies.

Will agree however, that the over-all biz has declined significantly, across the board.
Probably could say the same for all the biggies. McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Carl's.....

Everything about Casey's has gone downhill.

I still like their breakfast pizza. I haven't had the non breakfast pizza in quite a few years
