Casey’s General Store – Atkinson

This store serves Atkinson, Holt County. Casey's General Store is the convenience store and fuel stop chain founded at Boone, Iowa, in 1968, when Donald Lamberti converted a service station and named it after his fuel supplier. Its growth strategy was deliberately small-town - towns under five thousand people that the larger chains ignored - and that is why Casey's is the filling station in so many Nebraska communities. The company now runs more than 2,900 stores across nineteen states from its headquarters at Ankeny, Iowa. Casey's makes its own food rather than reheating it: hand-made pizza by the slice or whole, breakfast pizza, donuts baked on site, sandwiches and sides. It is the fifth-largest pizza chain in the country. Most stores sell gasoline and many sell diesel, and hours vary from long to round-the-clock depending on the town.
