“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.”

“All 4 of my tires were extremely low due to frigid temperatures. The maintenance man (Dave) put air in all 4 tires in -30 temperatures. He told me to stay in my car & keep warm. I was so grateful, I tried to pay him & his response was give it to charity. Now that’s service. Kwik Star is the best!!! Their chicken & cinnamon rolls are awesome too! Thank you so much Dave!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Had a wonderful experience at 1738 Casey's in Adel on October 17th,2022. I ordered pizzas 3 hours ahead of time. Got to the store right as they pulled them out (note: time requested). Had a few other items on the counter for the register that was workin. She was so patient and kind with me as I went to grab my pipping hot delicious pizzas. When I got back to her counter I checked the pizzas. I asked her about more marina sauce cups for my bread sticks and she was more then happy to get me more. Great job!!”

“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!”

“So sad that Casey’s switched out the brewed coffee for the machines! The reason I don’t stop at Kum&Go is because their coffee isn’t drip coffee. If you know coffee, you know the machines don’t taste as good!”

“Missy is one of the best employees at the Adel IA location. She has such a pretty smile and greets each customer. She is a very customer focused employee and takes excellent care of the customer. She goes above and beyond for everyone. Always a joy to see her when I go in”
