Casey’s announced its first-ever Casey’s Innovation Summit, a
competitive event that will focus on finding brands with new,
innovative products to distribute across the retailer’s 2600-plus

its food and beverage offerings, aligned with the company’s
commitment to offering high-quality, affordable products that meet
guests’ needs.
“We are excited to host the first-ever Casey’s Innovation

their food and beverage products should be available in our stores
and reach the guests we serve every day,” said Chris Stewart, Vice

always looking for opportunities to ensure our guests can try and
enjoy a variety of new, differentiated and exclusive products while
providing them an unexpected convenience experience.”
Now through August 19, food and beverage companies are invited

showcase their products, engage with the convenience retailer’s
merchants, and gain exposure to Casey’s guest base. Applications

invited to the in-person, Innovation Summit in Ankeny, Iowa, on
October 30, 2024.
