About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Casey's General Store. As he unloaded crates of soda, an old bottle rolled away and landed with a clink near the pumps. Curious, he bent down to pick it up—only to see that its label read ‘Moonshine Special.’ Smiling sheepishly, he glanced around but saw no one else nearby. Just as he reached for the bottle, his radio crackled to life: 'Delivery driver, do you have any moonshine?' asked a voice over the static. He choked back a laugh, popped open the soda crate, and went on his way, leaving the mysterious bottle behind. Since then, locals say it's good luck if you spot the Moonshine Special at Casey's.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Casey's General Store and noticed something peculiar in one of the empty fuel pumps' nozzles—a small, dusty teddy bear with a note attached. Curious, he picked it up and read aloud: 'For whoever fills up here first today.' The delivery driver grinned, thinking it was some prank from a local kid. He filled his truck, slipped the bear into his pocket, and drove off. Later that day, an elderly neighbor stopped by for gas. She saw the bear on the counter and asked, ‘Isn’t that Teddy? I thought my grandson left him here last week.’ Everyone laughed as they realized the bear had been making rounds through town, leaving joy wherever it went.

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Casey's General Store. As he unloaded crates of milk, he heard an old timer muttering in the dark corner: 'I swear, every time I come here before sunrise, the coffee's already brewed.' The delivery driver chuckled and glanced around. ‘Maybe it’s that old coot next door,’ he whispered, nodding towards an empty house across the street. Just then, a familiar voice croaked from behind him: “Sonny, you’re late again!” The store’s owner emerged from the shadows with a steaming cup of coffee. The driver rolled his eyes but couldn’t help smiling.

4. At closing time, an old man walked into Casey's General Store. ‘I heard you sell the best coffee in town,’ he said to the clerk. The clerk nodded, but didn’t reply. When the man reached for a cup, he found it empty. The old man looked around puzzled and asked, 'Isn’t there supposed to be coffee here?' A delivery driver passing by chuckled and replied, 'Ah, that’s just Mr. Jenkins—always comes in at closing time.' And so, every evening, Mr. Jenkins would walk in, grab his non-existent coffee, nod at everyone, and leave with a smile.
