Casey's General Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Casey's General Store, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one foggy morning. As he unloaded crates of soda, an old sign above the cooler started flickering on and off, reading ‘Buy One Get One Free’—but only for a few seconds before going dark again. Curious, the driver looked around but saw no one else. Just as quickly as it had appeared, the sign went out. Over the next hour, every time he glanced up, the message would flash briefly before vanishing again. By lunchtime, word spread among neighbors who stopped in for gas, and soon enough, everyone was checking the sign—and buying two sodas just in case. When the store owner arrived later that day, he found his fridge empty except for two bottles left behind by a regular customer who’d thought the offer still applied.

2. One autumn afternoon, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed an old man standing outside Casey’s General Store with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked, pointing at the gas pump, ‘do you sell gasoline by the hour?’ The old man blinked and replied, 'No son, I just wanted to know if you had any coffee.' The delivery driver burst out laughing and said, 'Of course we do! That's why it's called Casey's General Store!'

3. At Casey's General Store, a delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does that old man always buy just one candy?’ With a knowing smile, an older gentleman replied softly, ‘I’m buying it for my grandson who’s too shy to come himself.’ The delivery driver nodded understandingly and thought, ‘Maybe he should try sending more than one candy next time!’

4. At Casey's General Store, one night after closing, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the intercom: 'Attention, all customers and employees—please be advised that our hours are now open twenty-four hours.' The next morning, when Casey arrived for work, he found the store packed with people enjoying free coffee and snacks. Turns out, the intercom had a delayed timer, and everyone thought it was a promotional event. A regular commented jokingly, ‘Guess we’re here until they run out of freebies!’
