About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Casey's General Store, he noticed an unusual sign taped to the gas pump: 'Fill your tank with good luck today!' Curious, he filled his truck and drove off—only to discover that his usual bad luck had taken a holiday. A few days later, another delivery driver stopped in for some coffee. As she approached the counter, her colleague joked, ‘Don’t forget to fill up—good luck’s on sale here!’ She laughed and replied, ‘I’ll take two tanks, just to be safe.’ That afternoon, both drivers arrived home without any flat tires or traffic tickets—a first in their careers.

2. One day, while a little boy was waiting for his dad at Casey's General Store, he pointed excitedly towards the pump and whispered, 'Dad, look! The gas is talking!' The father looked puzzled but smiled, leaning down to ask, ‘Really? What’s it saying?’ The boy squinted closer, whispering back, ‘I can’t quite make out the words, Dad, but it sounds like it’s counting down something…’ Just then, an older gentleman walking by laughed and said, ‘That’s not gas talking, son. It’s just Casey checking the numbers on his calculator!’

3. While filling up his truck one afternoon, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he stopped at Casey's General Store, his gas gauge seemed to jump a few extra miles before it actually filled up. Curious, he mentioned it to a neighbor who laughed and said, ‘That’s because Casey always tops you off with an extra gallon or two—she knows how hard you work!’ Turns out, Casey was just being nice and making sure everyone got home safely.

4. While filling up his truck one evening, a delivery driver noticed something odd: no matter how much gas he pumped into his tank, the needle never moved past half-full. Confused and amused, the driver asked Casey himself, who just smiled and said, ‘It’s our secret, keeps customers coming back!’ From then on, locals would stop in for a joke or two while filling up their tanks—even if they never quite filled up.
