I Googled Casey’s and see they just bought CEFCO which we do have. We also have WaWa, Buckey’s, Tom Thumb/Cumberland Farms (owned by Kroger) and some smaller chains............

right. Casey’s acquired CEFCO recently which represented a big chunk of the convenience store market.

Casey’s is Iowa based and built on serving small towns. Top 10 pizza sales and around 3rd largest convenience chain.

Iowa also has the chain with the immortal name Kum&Go.

casey’s was midwestern & founded in Iowa & surrounding states.

they run a clean operation like circle k’s

after casey showed their willingness to buy market share, circle K may have felt like they better go big or go home??

The ones in the Philippines are good too! You can get real food, prices are good, and they’re always open.

When they first started, they opened at 7 am and closed at 11 pm, no?

They convinced the Chicago White Sox to start their night games at 7:11 p.m.

I’ve never been to the Philippines. I do have filipino/a colleagues and they all tell me that, while Manila is a Mega-city one, the rest of the philippines is lovely

yes. And a lot more - salads, sandwiches, whole meals etc. and very tasty AND healthy. I was extremely surprised.

If they bring that same level to parts of the USA, we would end up with healthier eating options
