Casey's General Stores generates revenue through two primary streams: fuel sales and in-store merchandise sales. The company sells motor fuel, including gasoline and diesel, on a self-service basis at its convenience stores. Fuel margins are typically thin, so the company relies on high volume to drive profitability. The more significant profit driver is its in-store merchandise, which includes prepared foods (such as pizza, donuts, and sandwiches), beverages, tobacco and nicotine products, beer, wine, spirits, snacks, candy, and various household items. Casey's also offers services like car washes, ATM usage, and prepaid cards, which contribute additional income. The company operates distribution centers to supply its stores efficiently, helping to control costs and ensure product availability. By combining fuel with a robust food and retail offering, Casey's encourages customers to make additional purchases, thereby increasing average transaction value.
