Casey's is the third-largest convenience-store chain in America — and, almost by accident, the country's fifth-largest pizza maker. Across roughly 2,900 stores clustered in small-town and rural Midwest, it sells fuel at the pump, groceries and tobacco off the shelf, and freshly made pizza, donuts and sandwiches from in-store kitchens — the high-margin prepared food that turns a gas stop into a destination. It runs its own distribution centres and fuel-tanker fleet, and has bulked up through big acquisitions (Buchanan/Bucky's, and the $1.1B Fikes/CEFCO deal that pushed it into Texas).
