About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Casey's General Store, late one night, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, all customers and employees—your groceries are now self-checkout!’ The delivery driver looked around confusedly, but everyone else just shrugged and started scanning their items themselves. Smiling sheepishly, he grabbed his own box of snacks and scanned it with a barcode on his phone. As he left, he muttered under his breath, ‘I’ll never complain again when they say “self-service”.’

2. At Casey's General Store, a local farmer stopped in for supplies one foggy morning. As he approached the counter, he asked the clerk, 'Do you ever hear strange noises coming from behind those old shelves?' The clerk shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just old Mr. Jenkins’ cat. He left it there last week.’ The farmer nodded, shook his head, and walked away, muttering something about city folk not knowing country ways. Later that day, as a delivery driver was unloading crates, he heard a tiny meow from beneath some boxes. Turns out, Casey’s had adopted another stray—this time, a whole litter of kittens!

3. At Casey's General Store, a little girl pointed excitedly at the cash register. ‘Mom,’ she whispered, ‘the cashier just winked at me!’ Her mother smiled and shook her head: ‘Honey, it’s probably just Casey playing pranks again.’ A few days later, an older gentleman approached the counter. ‘Casey,’ he asked with a twinkle in his eye, ‘why do you always wink at my granddaughter?’ Casey grinned broadly and replied, ‘Sir, I only wink at customers who bring their own coffee cups.’ The man laughed heartily, realizing the joke was on him.

4. At Casey's General Store, a delivery driver pulled up to the pump and noticed something unusual—a vintage license plate on the gas station sign that read ‘Happy Trails.’ Curious, he walked inside to ask if anyone knew its origin. Inside, an old man with a twinkle in his eye said, 'Why, that's my grandpa's plate! He used to put it here every time he filled up.' The delivery driver laughed, thinking how nice it was to see such a heartwarming tradition. As he drove off, he wondered if Casey would mind if he left his own personalized plate behind next time.
