Casey’s General Stores (CASY) has shared its new strategic plan for the next three years with the public. Based on three main priorities—growth in the food and beverage segment, expansion of the store network, and increased operational efficiency—the company has structured its plan for this new phase.
Food will continue to be one of Casey’s most important growth areas, according to the company’s statement. As one of the leading pizza chains in the U.S., Casey’s will continue to invest in made-to-order products such as pizza and chicken wings. The company also plans to expand its private-label product portfolio.
As part of its new strategic plan, Casey’s also aims to significantly expand its store network. Through strategic acquisitions and new store openings, the company plans to add at least 400 stores. By increasing its presence in both existing markets and new regions, Casey’s aims to bring its food-focused grocery and gas station model to a broader customer base.
Casey’s General Stores’ third priority will be to improve operational efficiency. Casey’s will invest in technology and data-driven tools to streamline food preparation processes, customer service, and daily operations at its stores. These investments are expected to improve demand forecasting, enhance the customer experience, and support profitability during the growth process.

Darren Rebelez, President and CEO of Casey’s General Stores, said the company’s success over the past three years demonstrates its differentiated business model. Rebelez noted that Casey’s combines restaurant-quality food, strong grocery services, and fuel sales within a scalable model.
Rebelez said that under the new three-year plan, the company will focus on expanding its food business, increasing the number of stores, and using technology to improve efficiency and service quality. The company expects these priorities to sustain market share gains, support profitable growth, and create shareholder value in the long term.
