That Bitcoin guy looked really smart until he didn't. I don't claim to know anything about Quick Star's finances, but it's possible to do a lot of expansion on Other People's Money.
What’s going at Casey’s?

There's no business with margins so large that it can't fail. Convenience stores also have a lot of competition and have to pay to be in high-visibility locations. It all depends on the ability to drive traffic into the store and turn inventory.
Walter Mondale's Small Minnesota Hometown Remembers His Legacy
Walter Mondale, who died Monday at the age of 93, is a political legend in Minnesota, as he served as the state's attorney general, U.S. senator and vice president of the United States to President Jimmy Carter. But to the tiny town of Elmore touching the Iowa border, Mondale is one of their own.

Old? There is no old one on Hickman in Waukee, At least not old for a Casey's.
You mean FTX? You're comparing crypto to convenience store expansion?
Bit weird.
When we were in CB there was a local, non-chain pizza joint close by too. Looked up recent reviews and they were all bad, including one that said they found multiple strands of hair in their one pizza. So we went with what we thought was the safer option with Casey's.
Stopped by one of the CR Casey's the morning to grab a coffee and a donut and thought of this thread while in line. Timed the person in front me starting from entering their card into the reader. Including entering their rewards info, it was just shy of 2 minutes. Crazy. No wonder the lines are always long. That and as usual there was only one person working the counter.
Went into a Casey's in Ankeny this morning to get a piece of pizza for breakfast and 2 employees walked out and put bags over all of the pump handles (both Diesel and gas) that said out of service. It must have been a major problem to close all of the pumps at once.
Speaking of Casey's coffee but I HATE the new brew by the cup coffee makers. If I want "gourmet" coffee I sure as sh!t am not going to Casey's. I want to come in and grab a cup, pay, and leave. This is just one of the many ways where Casey's forgot where they came form and have lost touch with their customers.
Makes sense to me now why Casey's teamed up with HyVee. They think the same. Wonder when they will share management too.
THIS!!!!
There are Casey's with "tap to pay" technology installed at the pump for 2+ years that have NEVER actually been functional! Some have a sticker to warn you, some don't. I provided feedback through my Casey's rewards once and got a canned, corporate type answer, "We'll work on that..." and nothing changed.
(If you wonder why I care, it's partly because I have a credit card that gives better rewards on Apple Pay than just inserting the card.)
Yesterday I was travelling for work in the middle of the day, and I wanted to stop and get a sub for lunch. One one side of the road was a Casey's, and on the other was a Subway.
For the first time in a decade, I took the Subway option over Casey's. Yeah, it wasn't amazing, but there was someone behind the counter, the store was clean, and they waited on me immediately. I loved Casey's subs like a member of my family, but I know that if I had gone into that store it would have been nothing but unmet expectations and frustration.

For some reason, gotta use the two pumps in the middle there. Otherwise they are slowwwww but I rarely go there now with KS in town.
Rumor on the street is that the relationship is ending, which is why Hy-Vee built several fast and fresh locations over the past year.
That coffee is the only reason I ever stop there. The faster you can make the coffee after grinding the beans the better. And those machines are instant. And it's still at gas station price.
