What’s going at Casey’s?

What is a Quick Star? Is it different than Kwik Star or are you just writing it wrong? I assume you mean with a K, but it's hard to tell with all the gas station names.

Just wait until they buy K&G and we get Kum Stars

Depending on the size of the town they seem to print money, both for the corporation and the employees. Very seldom do you see a slow one. Their profit sharing program is really strong.

I think a large part of Kwik Star’s rise to completely lap Casey’s in the last few years is investing in their employees. In my neck of the woods, the K Star employees are miles ahead of Casey’s and it sounds like that’s pretty common elsewhere. I think Kwik Star and Scheels are pretty similar companies, obviously in different spaces, but in terms of investing in employees and not cutting costs and making it an afterthought

I've never been able to figure out how to get pictures on this site. I don't know why it's so damn hard.

If you have an iPhone, attach the picture and select where it says actual size at the bottom. Switch the size to large or medium and insert the photo.

Kwik Star/Trip and QuickTrip are head and shoulders above Casey’s. Only stop at Casey’s if there isn’t anything else around.

I agree but there’s not a lot of locations yet in Iowa. For gas station food, kwik star actually has decent options for a cheap price.

Way way way more variety than a Casey's, along with a defined section of healthier items, which is thoughtful for people who occasionally want something better than a Tornado off the hot dog roller.

I think I go on the inside of a gas station like 5 times a year.

Meanwhile their gas operation continues to suck a phat one. Either half the pumps are closed off, or the card scanner isn't working and you have to go inside, or they've added a bunch of crap to have to answer just to get to the point where you can actually gas up. Am seriously starting to hate that place.

I went to a small town Casey's for a soda this morning. Warming racks were empty, card reader didn't work.

Five gas stations in town. Three are Casey's.
