About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Casey's General Store, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would notice something peculiar. A small dog, always wearing an old baseball cap, would appear from behind the gas pumps and start barking at the truck's headlights. No one knew where it came from or why it did that, but everyone agreed—nothing quite woke you up like a canine fan of early-morning deliveries. One day, a delivery driver decided to investigate. He followed the little dog back to an abandoned shed behind the store. Inside was a note: 'Casey’s won’t open without Casey.' Everyone laughed—it turned out Casey had retired years ago, leaving his faithful pup to guard the place with his trusty hat.

2. At Casey's General Store, late one night, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he loaded crates onto the shelf: ‘Who keeps taking my coffee?’ Suddenly, an old man with a crooked smile appeared from behind the counter and said, 'Why, that’s just Casey himself—always playing pranks on new drivers!' The delivery guy laughed, shaking his head, while Casey winked and poured him a fresh cup of coffee.

3. At Casey's General Store, on foggy mornings when everyone else was still asleep, an old cash register would suddenly start playing 'Happy Birthday'. One foggy day, a delivery driver arrived and asked curiously why his truck’s horn honked every time he approached the store. Inside, they found the cashier humming along to ‘Happy Birthday’ while filling up gas cans. It turned out that every morning, the same neighbor stopped by to wish Casey a joyful birthday, even though nobody knew exactly whose birthday it was.

4. At Casey's General Store, after midnight when everything should be quiet, a delivery driver noticed that the cash register always rang up exactly three dollars more than it should. Curious, he mentioned it to no one but an old neighbor who happened to work as a part-time accountant. The next day, they checked the books together—and found nothing amiss. Turned out the cashier had simply been rounding up to the nearest dollar since she liked keeping exact change in her pocket. At Casey's General Store, even ghostly mysteries sometimes turn out to be just good ol' human nature.
