“What can you say about a Casey’s? This was a very clean Casey’s. It’s a corporate thing so what can you see about corporations other than they suck! I’d prefer the old Mom and Pop gas stations”

“Awesome place. They have Non Ethanol gas, which is cool. Plenty of beer and spirits. Most important the food :). They have awesome chicken. They heat up the biscuits for ya. The fried mushrooms are awesome. I'll have to try liver and gizzards sometime, these you have to order they don't make them and have em ready... guessing lower demand.”

“Reasonably priced gasoline. A bit of a bummer that it's not possible to combine Kroger point from the prior and current month to make full value of points earned. Do note that the gas station is on the opposite side of the street from the Kroger food store.”

“I stopped by for a little road snack, and I was served by a very wonderful worker named Michelle. I came in looking for a specific item i had won for free via caseys rewards but was having trouble locating the cake bites. She noticed i seemed a little lost and greeted me very friendly and offered to show me the cake bites. She noticed there was no vanilla left and preemptively offered to check the back. While i was definitely okay with the lemon flavored ones, the customer service skill shown by Michelle and anticipating the needs of the customer before they ask was very impressive to me as a supervisor at my own job. I certainly hope her leadership acknowledges her incredibly friendly, and clearly experienced work with front-end customer service. I could definitely see her in a team lead, or even higher, position if she's not already! Caseys, you have a diamond working for you right in your Henry store! Thank you Michelle!”

“The people that work here are awesome!!! Anytime I go in when they are even moderately busy there's a huge slow moving line. Mainly due to the fact that corporate can't justify another cashier...makes the staff over worked and frustrated. And it's frustrating from the disgruntled customers I see. If you wanna be in business then take care of your employees and make sure all the bases are covered.”
