Casey’s Logo

Casey's old 1800's motif set back the Iowa landscape by at least a century. Won't miss it any more than their burnt sludge bad water coffee.
My personal rankings are whoever is cheapest. Usually that's Kwik Star or Fleet Farm around here but they are far enough away from my house I probably burn enough gas driving to and from there that the 2 or 3 cent difference per gallon is burned up on the drive.
Casey's will be #1 for me because I like their pizza. Other than that I don't ever go in to a gas station.
Have you had Kwik Star chicken tenders or fried chicken? Its delicious. I'd pick that over casey pizza now days.
If you're eating gas station food on a regular basis you might want to reevaluate your diet.
LOL, jfc. Who said I eat it on the regular and why would you care?
Kwik Star has better food & a wider variety than Casey’s when I’ve gone there.
Their Karuba coffee is pretty good, but it seems like it’s hard to screw up coffee nowadays at these stores

Sorry, please tell me more about the delicious chicken tenders from the gas station
Not only the chicken tenders but also the fried chicken. Well seasoned, perfectly crispy, and juicy meat. While you're checking out you can also grab an extremely sweet treat like a donut or cinnamon roll. That way you are not only consuming massive amounts of sodium but also sugar, you need to have balanced meals after all.
Better gasoline as well since Kwik Star is top tier fuel.
Voted old. Had both cardinal and gold. New is lacking; only has cardinal.
This reminds me of a time where Iowa State hired who, Nike? to come up with a newer design in the uniforms and Kagavi had some sweet creations, only for them to knock off what they designed for a bunch of other schools.
Sweet nike, how long did you spend designing those? Oh, 5 minutes? Cool.
The Casey's in my little town just had all the signage updated to the new branding.
All I can say is .... blah.
Maybe you can say the branding was due for some kind of refresh. But now going with this 2D 2-color image is so plain and boring, it's pretty easy to be of the opinion that it's a net-negative for the image. It makes the store look like every other convenience store on the planet.
Anyway, I wish they would have turned my local Casey's into a Kwik Star -- they are just better at everything (except pizza). Since I rarely buy gas station pizza...

As illustrated by another poster, their logo now looks like everyone else's. It makes sense. It's time to dump the general store theme. But they didn't completely as the stand alone signs still have a barn/chicken shed outline....or is it a garage with a weather vane? LOL Anyway, the first thing that came to my mind is that all signage packaging would be cheaper to produce because it's only two colors instead of four.
An interesting side note is that this rebranding comes at a time where they are expanding their offerings of self-branded items such as soda, chips, etc. When they opened the store at 1st and Delaware in Ankeny, for the first few weeks they only offered their in house fountain drinks as a test. They still have a few.
Iowa is the most competitive convenience store market in the nation. You know it's a tough market when QT is closing and selling stores. And Kwik Trip/Kwik Star is definitely disrupting things in central Iowa. The one across from the Casey's in Grimes appears to do 2X the business...at least at the times when I roll through. Their kitchens are about 2X the size of a Casey's. And yes, their chicken is great.
