Here's where the money comes from!
It took Casey's 22 years to reach $500 million in annual sales, but only 7 more to soar through the $1-billion level. Since 1990, when annual sales reached the half-billion-dollar mark, sales have grown at an average rate of 12 percent annually. In many small towns throughout the Midwest, the Casey's store is the local gasoline service station, grocery store, bakery and pizza shop--all rolled into one.Stores carry an average of 1,800 brand-name general merchandise items, including a selection of canned goods, breakfast cereals, milk, eggs, health and beauty aids, automotive-care products in convenient locations with a strong emphasis on selling quality products, at fair prices, with outstanding customer service.
