About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Casey's General Store and noticed something peculiar on the gas pump handle—a small wooden carving of an old trucker with a mischievous smile. He shrugged it off as a prank but soon found similar trinkets appearing around the store—on the counter, in shopping carts, even inside the bathroom. No one claimed responsibility. Finally, after weeks of puzzling over these little gifts, Casey—the owner—confessed that he had been leaving them himself as a way to cheer up his employees. 'Just wanted everyone to feel like family,' he said with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, glad to know that sometimes kindness comes from unexpected places.

2. One day, while filling up at Casey's General Store, a delivery driver heard an unusual announcement over the loud speaker: 'Attention, everyone—we're out of coffee!' The entire town erupted in laughter, but no one seemed to mind. As it turned out, Casey's had only one bag left, and they decided to sell it for ten times the usual price. A regular customer offered to buy it, saying he’d pay whatever it took to get his morning jolt. So, Casey's sold him the last bag—and then promptly announced: 'We’re now out of money too!' Everyone burst into another round of laughter, realizing that sometimes life at Casey's was just as unpredictable as their supply chain.

3. While pumping gas one evening, a delivery driver noticed an old man counting change under the streetlight across the road from Casey's General Store. ‘Sir,’ he asked, ‘why are you counting money here?’ The man replied, ‘I lost my last dollar bill somewhere around here.’ ‘Well,’ said the old man, squinting into the darkness, ‘I must’ve dropped it when I was buying that lottery ticket earlier.’ The delivery driver smiled and shook his head. ‘You’re always buying those things!’ he teased. ‘Maybe this time,’ muttered the old man, ‘this time I’ll finally win big.’

4. While pumping gas late one night, a delivery driver caught a whiff of something strange—a faint scent of fresh-baked cookies wafting from inside the store. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw an old lady in an apron busily stirring something on the stove. She looked up, smiled warmly, and said, 'Help yourself to a cookie while you wait.' The driver laughed, shook his head, paid for his gas, and drove off—never realizing that his truck was now running on the best coffee he'd ever had.
