Casey’s General Stores, Inc. reported a total revenue of $17.56 billion for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026, marking a 10.2% increase from $15.94 billion in the previous year. The growth was primarily driven by the acquisition of Fikes Wholesale, which contributed $1.03 billion in revenue, alongside a 10.2% increase in prepared food and dispensed beverage sales, and a 10.1% rise in grocery and general merchandise revenue. Net income for the year rose to $714.4 million, a 30.7% increase from $546.5 million in fiscal 2025, reflecting improved profitability across both store operations and fuel sales.
The company’s operational footprint expanded to 2,944 stores, with 40 new stores opened and 40 acquired during the fiscal year. Approximately 71% of these stores are located in communities with populations under 20,000, emphasizing Casey’s strategy to serve smaller markets. The average retail sales per store increased to $5,879, up from $5,556 in the prior year, while same-store sales for prepared food and dispensed beverages grew by 5.2%. The company also reported a significant increase in customer engagement, with over 10 million members enrolled in the Casey's Rewards program.
Casey’s continued to enhance its product offerings, particularly in prepared foods, with the expansion of its chicken wing selection to approximately 850 stores. The company also implemented an electric vehicle (EV) strategy, adding 282 charging stations across 64 locations in response to growing consumer demand for alternative fuel options. This strategic focus on high-margin products and services is expected to drive future growth.
Operating expenses increased by 11.2% to $2.84 billion, attributed to the operational costs associated with the additional stores and increased employee compensation. The company’s effective tax rate rose slightly to 23.8% from 23.3% in the previous year. Despite these increases, the overall financial health of the company remains strong, with cash provided by operating activities rising to $1.38 billion, up from $1.09 billion in fiscal 2025.
Looking ahead, Casey’s plans to introduce a new three-year strategic plan in June 2026, building on its previous successes in store growth and operational efficiency. The company remains committed to expanding its footprint and enhancing its product offerings while navigating the competitive landscape of the convenience store industry.
