About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Casey's General Store, late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas pumps. As he filled his tank, he noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the store's old radio. Curious, he walked in and found the dial stuck on a strange frequency—playing nothing but a single, repetitive note. As he adjusted the dial, the note changed pitch, sounding like a cat purring. Smiling, the driver thought it was just an old-timey tune until he heard someone call his name. Turning around, he saw nobody—and then realized the voice had come from the radio. ‘Hey, thanks for filling my tank!’ said a familiar voice. It was Casey himself, who’d been listening to the same note all day. The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, knowing that sometimes life at Casey's is stranger than fiction.’

2. At Casey's General Store, late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas pumps. Suddenly, from inside the store, came a strange humming sound—like someone tuning an old radio just right. The delivery driver cocked his head, listening intently. Then, out of the store stepped Casey himself, wiping his hands on a greasy apron and smiling broadly. 'Just my new invention,' he said proudly. 'Tuned the radio waves to attract customers!' The driver shook his head, laughing, as he filled up his tank—and so began Casey's famous late-night broadcasts for attracting business.

3. At Casey's General Store, late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the pump and noticed something odd in the gas tank cap—a tiny note scribbled in pencil read: ‘Fill half, rest for emergency.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank from a local mischief-maker. The next day, he returned with his truck almost empty. Sure enough, another note appeared: ‘Fill three-quarters, rest for emergency.’ Curious neighbors started leaving notes too—‘Top off if full,’ or even ‘Only fill when thirsty!’ Soon, Casey's became known not just for gas but for its quirky messages. And whenever someone asked why their tank had such peculiar markings, they’d smile and say, “Oh, that’s just Casey’s way.”

4. At Casey's General Store, late one night, an anxious delivery driver pulled up to the gas pump. Over the intercom crackled a voice: 'Fill ’er up with whatever you like—just make sure it’s enough for your trip home!' The delivery driver smiled and said, ‘Just fill it up with whatever, sir?’ The voice replied, ‘Then give me what you would give to your best neighbor!’ With that, the tank was full—and so was the driver’s belly with free snacks from Casey’s pantry. As he drove off into the night, everyone in town knew that Casey's had just earned another loyal customer.’
