“Nice Casey's here in Blooming Prairie, MN. I was here on August 20th, 2026, and when I came, the store was nice and clean. This Casey's is one of the more uncommon ones, where they do carry Premium 91. Most of the rural Casey's I've seen, usually only carry either a Unl 87 or Unl 87/Diesel. Now, let's step into the store. The store is like a 2010's Casey's, only if it was fit into a different store body. There wasn't a lot of food, but there was some pizza slices. The pepperoni slices looked really good. This store features a touchscreen fountain (how?!) for fountain sodas. I grabbed 2 slices of the Pepperoni, a Blondie Brownie (I had no idea Blondie Brownies were a thing until I saw that), and a 30fl oz fountain Pepsi. I cannot remember what the total was for this, so I'm not gonna mention it. The staff and locals are very nice & friendly in general. I recommend this Casey's and its Pizza at this store, as it was one of the best pizza slices I've gotten from a Casey's.-ShyGun670”
