“Originally happened across Hyvee simply needed some essentials while staying in a hotel nearby - found a couple items that I loved so while visiting again, we had to stop in and pick them up! It is on the pricier side compared to Walmart but I believe the quality of the fresh food items were alot better than their competitor. The Bakery is also a great place to grab some sweet treats!!”

“I recently went to the Hy-Vee bakery looking for a cake for my sons birthday. As I was looking through the cake selection book I happened to look over and up behind the bakery counter and I saw the most fantastic cheeseburger cake. I spoke with Monika, and found out that it was a specialty cake that she had just added to display. I asked if it was possible to customize it as my son eats plain hamburgers and would find the humor in that and Monika was very accommodating. The cake turned out so amazing. Monika is so creative and the cake turned out so good. A big THANK YOU to Monika for being just so nice and accommodating but also a fantastic creator of beautiful tasty cakes!”

“I've been visiting Casey's regularly for the last four years. The staff is friendly and helpful, the food is delicious and made fresh in house throughout the day, and they have a wide selection of classic favorites and novelty/specialty items available for purchase. I also love the Casey's rewards app; I earn points with every purchase that I can redeem for cash to purchase anything (besides age restricted products) in the store, or I can get a discount on my gas! This place is definitely my favorite in Leroy if I need a bite to eat, snacks for the kids, or a drink while I fuel up. I've even purchased a few gifts here for birthdays and Christmas. If you're in the area, Leroy Casey's is a wonderful, clean, welcoming place you just can't miss out on! Dietary restrictions: There is a gluten-free pizza available, and the kitchen staff does their best to prevent cross-contamination. However, if you have a severe gluten allergy or intolerance, I personally would skip the food here. If you're avoiding gluten because of a preference though, that pizza is delicious and an excellent choice! Parking: There are approximately twelve parking spots (not counting the spaces by the pumps or the EV charging stations), two of which are reserved for those with disabilities. All parking is right in front of the building and easily accessed no matter what your needs may be, and there are almost always spots available. Kid-friendliness: Kids love Casey's! There are a lot of yummy food choices right at eye level for little ones. The kitchen offers a lot of classic kid choices like popcorn chicken, chicken tenders, and my personal favorite: potato cheese bites! Hard to describe, but a must have if you're in the area! Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is located on ground level, without any steps or noticeable slopes. The doors are wide enough for comfortable wheelchair access, and most items in the store are low enough for a wheelchair user to browse comfortably. The staff is also very helpful and considerate, and they will gladly assist anyone with extra needs in finding what they're looking for.”

“Joy greeted us the moment we walked in the door, with a smile and a hello! Mindy made our sandwiches that were absolutely delicious and even gave us new sandwich wrappers so that the sandwich wasn’t falling over. Great customer service and friendly people. They make the best sub sandwiches here, I won’t go to subway anymore if there’s a Casey’s nearby. I highly recommend this store!”
