“I called the station to ask if they had a product and spoke to Candace. She advised me. And she made an effort to call me back and let me know. She's an amazing employee here. I recommend shopping here.”

“Not a bad little truck stop for your 10/hrs off. No laundry, no showers & parking is limited. But this place is out of the way and never full. You can fit about 10-15 trucks comfortably. The lot is dirt, but maintained. There is a small bathroom that was cool. Definitely not a place to stay for a reset, but definitely good enough for a 10. If you want something quiet where you just need a little break, this is the spot.”

“This is the owner and manager wake up call. Brooke and Tyler are GROSSLY underpaid and dare I say undervalued. They should train other associates how to present themselves to customers. I got the feeling they truly wanted me to have a grandiose experience. They were happy to help me. One might even say they were enjoying themselves at work. I’ve been to many a Casey’s. Most times you can’t get a hello, have a great day, how can I help you etc etc I might start a company just so I can hire these two to be the face of my customer service team.”
