About Caseys General Stores, Inc.

About Caseys General Stores, Inc.

Casey's General Stores operated 2,904 convenience stores across 20 states at April 30, 2025, adding 198 CEFCO-branded locations through the November 2024 Fikes acquisition and entering Texas (148 stores), Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi for the first time. Retail fuel revenue reached $9.8 billion in fiscal 2025 at 61.3% of total revenue, with about 71% of stores in communities of fewer than 20,000 residents and approximately half of all locations in Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois.

Casey's earns margin on retail fuel — self-distributed via a fleet of approximately 500 tractors and a fuel terminal in Waco, Texas acquired with Fikes — and on in-store merchandise, particularly prepared foods. Prepared food and dispensed beverages alongside grocery and general merchandise generated about 34% of total revenue over the past three fiscal years but approximately 63% of revenue less cost of goods sold, with prepared food margin averaging about 58%. Tobacco and nicotine products averaged roughly 9% of total revenue over the same period. The Casey's Rewards loyalty program exceeded 9 million enrolled members at fiscal year-end, supporting repeat visit frequency. The company owns substantially all of its stores and three distribution centers in Ankeny, Iowa; Terre Haute, Indiana; and Joplin, Missouri, operating with 23,338 full-time and 25,934 part-time Team Members and no collective bargaining agreements.

Show full overview

With fuel representing nearly two-thirds of Casey's revenue, the company faces structural demand risk from EV adoption, hybrid vehicles, and fuel efficiency standards that could reduce petroleum-based motor fuel demand and decrease store traffic across all categories — a risk the 10-K explicitly identifies. Average retail price per gallon fell 7.8% year-over-year to $3.06 in fiscal 2025, while average revenue less cost of goods sold per gallon declined to 38.68 cents from 39.48 cents, illustrating how price compression can weigh on fuel margin even as total gallons sold grew 13% with the expanded store count.
