“Absolutely love this store. They are a great quick stop not far from home. The kitchen has a great selection of amazingly succulent dishes that will keep you coming back for more. They have a wide variety of household needs and conveniences. Large drink selection. Lots of in house made sweets and treats. Best caramel rolls around!! I absolutely recommend this location over any in a 30 min radius.”

“If I could give this 10 stars, I would. One of my better experience in recent years with Casey's. I was traveling though DL this weekend and stop here. They were super friendly, fully stocked, including the hot food. Made purchase, and was on my way. I'm from Baxter, MN. Our Casey's here is a joke. Your lucky if there is even A PIZZA available around lunch time. Your even more lucky if you can break someone away from their phone long enough to get rung out. Store Manager stumblin around the sore, and randomly throwing packaged goods at the wall and laughing about it, because she high who knows what. On my trip back that evening, i stopped again. This place was still fully lite, full shocked, even with hot food, and everyone was still super friendly. All before 10:00. My home store would have given up by now. This crew is hard working, and a beacon of example for the rest of the stores. Thank You DL Crew, you guys are awesome.”
