“Casey's is an Iowa convenience station with a history of proud quality, and selection often found along high traffic roads and rural towns. There is a lack of competent workers in many areas, as experienced by many service industry businesses. Casey's seems to do a good job finding good people. I am a strong supporter and satisfied customer!”

“On 7/20/25 at 1640 I stopped at this location. I didn't think to look at her name badge, but the clerk that was working was personable and pleasant. She commented on my earrings and how pretty they were. We chatted while she rang my items up. Told me to enjoy the rest of my day. It's not every day you get a lovely person who leaves a positive impression like that. Keep up the good work girlie. It won't go unnoticed.”

“As is the case for just about every other Kum and Go that I have been to in my travels, this was a decent Kum and Go location with an adequately-sized conveinence store with a good diversity of products ranging from snacks to everyday essentials. This store even had made-to-order good in a vein of that of Sheetz.The Rsstrooms are good, but in themselves are not perfectly clean, yet they are modernistic in the process.Overall, this Kum and Go in its own half is decent but is fully not immaculate due in part to its cleanliness stance.”

“I love this location as it has truck parking and there is a little laundry mat right by (not owned by Caseys) so its nice to be able to do laundry and get some hot food while waiting. 4 stars only becausethere have been times when some of the workers are stand offish. Not rude, but not pleasant either.”

"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.
