Casey’s president and CEO Darren Rebelez said: “Thanks to the hard work of our entire team, Casey’s delivered another stellar quarter by driving inside gross profit while managing operating expenses efficiently.
“Inside same-store sales were spurred by grocery and general merchandise, notably non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, snacks, and candy.
“Prepared food and dispensed beverage performed well due to strong pizza slice and donut sales.
“The fuel team continues to strike the right balance between gallon volume and gross profit margin.
“Finally, I am very proud of the team’s ability to continue to effectively manage operating expenses in a challenging inflationary period.”
