Casey’s president and CEO Darren Rebelez said: “I am extremely proud of how the Casey’s team generated record third-quarter earnings.
“Inside sales and fuel gallons sold were strong in the third quarter as our merchandising efforts inside the store gained momentum, driving improved guest traffic.
“The results are impressive when taking into account macro conditions such as the Omicron wave, wage and merchandise inflation, and difficult weather.
“Overall, the commitment to our strategy continues to deliver strong results and we look forward to continuing to drive long-term value for our shareholders.”
