For as much as I hate the convenience store side of Casey's, you are 100% spot on with this.
Casey’s > Buc-ees

Kwik Trip is the Wisconsin name based out of Lacrosse Wisconsin.
Iowa is Kwik Star, still the same company I don't know why they have to change the name a bit but still based out of Wisconsin. Don't know if there is another place in Iowa that makes the bakery items or not.
Edit: see post 34 for Kwik Star answer.
Forgot about Quick Trip. Do they even exist anymore?
There are a hanful of QTs left in the Des Moines area, but many were taken over by Hy-Vee Fresh
Yup I just get gas there then free pizzas when I get enough rewards which doesn’t take long with a 36 gallon tank
I don't know about waving a white flag, they're still building more stores and if anything kwik star pushed caseys to dramatically improve their store layouts. Plus I like the option of ethanol free gas at caseys.
If I'm stopping for something to eat, it's kwik star > caseys. If it's to fill up the boat or the wife's Sequoia, it's Casey's.
Couple of stores in DSM…East side by Lutheran and out in Merle Hay…also one on 22nd WDSM near freeway… THAT store might be the best convenience store in town!
Always liked QT….lived off their “2 hot dogs 4 $1.25” back in the day.
Ive been at Buc-ees when they are carving up the brisket and other meats in front of you and you can have your sammy from that. Not even close the quality difference of food involved. Its restaurant quality.
Buc-ees is above KS......and KS far far surpases Caseys or KG.
First off, you’re a moron and can GTFO with this hot take. If you don’t like Bucees, you don’t get Bucees. Same with Casey’s. They are consumerist monuments to the white trash nature of the modern American.
The last time I got a sandwich from Buc-ees I used one of the smokers for sale outside as a table. Still nowhere to sit, though.

When I really want Beaver Nuggets, I look to OP's mom first...................and then Buc-ee's.
Team Kwik Star (HORT) consigliere says the time has come to vanquish all Casey's ROT supporters. I don't care if you have stock in the company. It is about to get it's ass kicked. Kwik Star pays there employees more and you can see it with the staff you deal with. They put out a much better product in all facets than Caseys. On behalf of Kwik Star ROT members, I declare war. (that being said, I have a 32 once Casey's Mt. Dew on my desk because Kwik Star won't slum it up in the neighborhood I work in.
Casey's quarterly report out this week was very strong. They are now the 5th largest pizza seller in USA. They are trading at 27 times earnings which puts them at restaurant level...much above convenience store pricing.
Analysts are positive on their future.

I can't wait for the day when I can go get gas and then walk in and have the hostess seat me for dinner.
You know I love your profession and flying skills, but Casey's isn't even in the same universe, my friend. Besides Bucees mascot is a freaking beaver. Beaver my friend!
They built a new one in N. Liberty yet their food sucks.
Yep, looked it up online.
1 in Co. and 1 in Mo.
Everything else is NC, AL. and TX from what I can see.
It's like a SuperWalmart gas station but with really good BBQ sammiches.
Buc-ee’s just for the brisket sandwiches beats anything at Casey’s
Regarding the Iowa Kwik Star vs Caseys comparison...Caseys are located in nearly every town with at least 1,000 residents and they monopolize that target customer. They have no competition and margins are huge.
Kwik Star hasn't shown the initiative to build stores in towns <3000 residents.
So even if KS begins to dominate Caseys in the larger cities...Caseys will still have that profitable base of small town Merica.
On a side note...back in the late 70s, I had a financial adviser suggest to me that buying Caseys stock @ $16/share was a good investment.
Today, Caseys stock is around $370/share.
Hindsight!

Never been to a buccees but Casey’s sucks. QT is better as are the Kwick places. Kum and go had some pretty decent food but after it was bought I hear it will be more standard gas station stuff.

That is a good analogy. But, at least at TSC I can get horse stall mats for cheap to use in a home gym, as well as custom cut lengths of huge ass chains.

this is the home of bucees right here where I am in tx. not really a fan. the bathrooms, yes. clean. the amount of people and lines? no thanks
My local Casey’s is a bunch of trans and they don’t even identify what slice of pizza you’re buying. I just have to watch that bitch spin around and hope for the best and try to remember not to say sir to the 6’4” dude talking in a fake high pitched voice asking me about my rewards status.
Actually, didn't buy stock. In my 20s, didn't have a lot to invest.
Caseys is pretty profitable and the margins for prepared food are massive.
Financial analyst have wondered if Caseys did this to put more hurt on the privately held K&G than themselves. I can very well see that being the case.
IMO it was a wise move for KG to sell to Maverick. They were at their peak in value and with KS now on the scene making them and Caseys look like hot garbage the time was right.
We ate at a Mavericks in Fort Collins CO last summer. Very
impressive. If they change the menu at KG to match that....Caseys will become the bottom feeder.
