“We were in need of propane for our grill and didn't want to do the exchange of bottles. The employee checked our bottle to see if was up to date and filled it. It was way cheaper than the exchange price. I highly recommend the public to just refill their tanks and save thier money”

“Casey’s is generally a convenient place with friendly service and a good selection of items. The store itself is usually clean and easy to access. One area that could use improvement is the gas pump payment system. Although some machines seem to have been replaced, they still do not always feel fully updated. Sometimes the card reader gives trouble recognizing or processing cards, and mobile payment options like Apple Pay can also be inconsistent. Updating the payment system further would make the overall experience smoother and more convenient for customers.”

“Great gas station, but could still be better.Pros:-Customer Service-Breakfast Pizza-Variety of Merchandise-Tidyness and Cleanliness-Boomerang SauceCons:-Order Accuracy (only one of four has been incorrect however)-Prices (but it is a gas station)Three breakfast pizzas we have ordered in total from here, but the third was not a breakfast pizza they gave us (actually happened yesterday afternoon). We actually love their breakfast pizza, both sauces are great, but the wrong one we received was a very little sauced (with regular sauce) and sausage pizza that was still decent but completely not worth any price we paid for it. Since they have those sticker things we didn't think about looking either.From now on we will open at the store everytime.EDIT: DUE TO THE INCORRECT PIZZA I RECEIVED, I WAS GIVEN A FREE PIZZA THAT I USED TO GET THE BREAKFAST PIZZA WITH AND IT TASTED LIKE OUR FIRST TWO... GREAT. THE MANAGER ACTUALLY MADE THIS ONE AND THE CRUST WAS TO PERFECTION.”

"These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
