Ankeny, Iowa — Casey’s General Stores, Inc., a leading convenience store chain in the United States, has unveiled its new 3-year strategic plan. Since introducing its last strategic plan in 2023, the company has exceeded its strategic and financial targets, adding more than 500 stores and joining the S&P 500. Now it plans to add 400 additional stores, accelerate its F&B offerings and enhance operational efficiency.
“Our success over the last 3 years reinforces what makes Casey’s unique: a differentiated model that brings together restaurant-quality food, best-in-class convenience and fuel at scale,” says Darren Rebelez, president and chief executive Officer at Casey’s. “As we enter our next 3-year plan, we are focused on expanding our food business, growing our store base and leveraging technology to improve efficiency and execution.”
Casey’s new 3-year strategic plan is centered on three priorities:
• Accelerating Food and Beverage: Food continues to be a key growth driver for Casey’s. Building on its position as one of the nation’s leading pizza chains, Casey’s will continue investing in its made-to-order offerings, including pizza and chicken wings, with plans to expand its private-brand portfolio.
• Expanding Casey’s Country and Scale: Casey’s plans to add at least 400 stores through a combination of strategic acquisitions and new-store development. By expanding its presence in both existing and new markets, Casey’s will bring its distinctive food-first convenience offering to more guests, while leveraging its proven expertise in acquiring and successfully integrating stores.
• Enhancing Operational Efficiency: Casey’s is investing in technology and data-driven tools to improve how its team members prepare food, serve guests and run stores efficiently. These investments help improve forecasting, strengthen the guest experience and support profitable growth as the company expands.
Casey’s is a Fortune 500 company operating over 2,900 convenience stores. Founded more than 50 years ago, the company has grown to become the third-largest convenience store retailer and the fifth-largest pizza chain in the United States. For more information, visit www.caseys.com.
