About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Casey's General Store, a little boy entered one morning and pointed excitedly at the ceiling. His mother looked up too—and saw a shadowy figure moving among the shelves above the gas pumps. The storekeeper, a gruff old fellow, scratched his head and said, 'That’s just ol’ Mr. Jenkins, our retired janitor, checking on things from above.' The little boy giggled, and everyone relaxed. Turns out, Mr. Jenkins liked to hang out there after hours, keeping an eye on Casey’s like an overzealous guardian angel.

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Casey's General Store and noticed an unusual sign on the gas pump: ‘Fill ’er Up with Honesty—Pay What You Think It’s Worth.’ Curiosity piqued, he filled his tank and drove off without paying. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone was stopping by Casey's to fill their tanks and leave whatever they thought was fair. A regular named Joe even started leaving jars of homemade jam next to the cash register, saying it tasted like honesty was sweet. The delivery driver eventually returned, smiling, and remarked, 'Guess I got cheated out of some gas money, but I sure did enjoy that jam!'

3. At Casey's General Store, a delivery driver pulled up early one morning. As he unloaded crates from his truck, he spied something odd in the back of his own vehicle—a small, dusty box emblazoned with an old logo. As he opened it curiously, out popped a live goldfish in a tiny bowl. Turns out, someone had accidentally packed it while moving. A regular stopped by later that day and joked, ‘Guess Casey’s now has its very own pet store!’

4. At Casey's General Store, an old dog trotted in one afternoon, sniffing curiously around the counter. The clerk watched with amusement as the canine approached the cash register, its tail wagging uncertainly. Just then, a delivery driver walked in and exclaimed, ‘Hey, isn’t that your dog?’ The old pooch perked up, recognizing his friend, and bounded over for a playful greeting. The clerk shook his head, smiling fondly. ‘Yup, he’s always here,’ he said. ‘Must be the only dog in town who knows how to pay with a wag.’
