About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Casey's General Store, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘I’ve never seen gas pumps talk before!’ And indeed, every night after closing, the pumps would whisper strange directions to each other. One night, an old neighbor stopped by and asked why the pumps were glowing so brightly. Turns out, they’d been arguing over whose turn it was to shine! The next morning, everyone found a note on the counter: ‘Sorry for the light show—we’re just trying to decide who gets to be the star tonight.’

2. At Casey's General Store, one foggy morning, an elderly gentleman entered and asked for directions to the nearest bank. The clerk replied, 'Sir, we're not open yet.' The old man nodded and walked out, muttering something about early birds getting worms. Just then, a delivery driver arrived, jumped off his truck, and said cheerfully, ‘Hey, Casey! We’re finally open!’

3. At Casey's General Store, a little girl pointed excitedly as she walked into the convenience store with her parents. 'Mommy,' she whispered, 'look at those funny bottles on the shelf!' Her mom glanced over and saw nothing unusual—until she noticed the curious expressions of other customers. Curious, Mom picked up one of the bottles and read aloud, ‘Medicinal Use Only.’ She laughed softly and said, ‘Honey, these are just old-timey tonics!’ The family paid for their items and left, leaving behind a few confused but amused neighbors who had gathered around Casey’s counter. As they drove away, Dad turned to them and grinned, ‘Guess we’ll never know what “medicinal use only” means!’

4. At Casey's General Store, a sign above the cash register reads 'Today's Secret Ingredient: Friendship.' Customers laugh every time they see it. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked for milk. The clerk said, ‘We’re out, but don’t worry—we have something else!’ He pulled out a jar labeled ‘Friendship Milk.’ The neighbor took a sip, smiled broadly, and exclaimed, ‘This is delicious! Where can I buy more?’ Everyone laughed as he left, knowing he’d never get another bottle.
