Convenient store chain Casey’s General Stores has revealed plans to establish a new warehouse, logistics and distribution facility in the city of Joplin, Missouri, US.

The facility will be the third distribution centre for Casey’s and will initially provide services to around 400 to 600 stores.

Casey’s General Stores transportation and distribution vice president Ed Vaske said: “Joplin is an ideal location for Casey’s third distribution centre due to its geography and ability to serve our growing market areas.

“We appreciate the support from the State of Missouri and City of Joplin, and look forward to sharing more details in the future.”

Several organisations, including Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce, City of Joplin, Missouri Department of Economic Development, Liberty Utilities, Missouri American Water, Spire, and Missouri Partnership have supported Casey’s new facility.

The proposed project is subject to Casey’s due diligence and the receipt of all economic development incentives approval.
