New brands will gain access to the growing
retailer's stores in 2025 and beyond
Casey’s selected 13 brands to be part of its future product
assortments and planning from its first-ever Casey’s Innovation
Summit. The inaugural event focused on discovering innovative
brands and their products for distribution across Casey’s extensive
network of nearly 2,900 stores in 20 states.
“The enthusiastic response from emerging and innovative
suppliers exceeded our expectations. Casey’s was thrilled to see
their business plans and productive discussions aimed at adding
their offerings into our stores,” said Chris Stewart, Vice
President of Merchandising at Casey’s. “Our guests love seeing new,
diverse, and exclusive products alongside the brands and items they
have come to love.”
The Summit featured participation from over twenty brands across
various categories, all gathering at Casey’s Store Support Center
to showcase their unique products. This event highlights Casey’s
commitment to enhancing its product lineup and providing new,
innovative brands to its valued guests. It also provides an
opportunity for smaller startups or entrepreneurs who may not
typically have the ability to get in front of chain retailers to
present their business strategy and offerings.
“The summit proved to me that Casey’s understands what their
customers are looking for,” said Shawn McLaughlin, Chief Sales
Officer at Health Ade LLC. “Casey’s invested time to host multiple
vendors and ensure that we understood their strategies and business
principles, and allotted time for meaningful conversations with the
Casey’s buying team.”
Casey’s 2024 Product Innovation Summit selected 20 new
suppliers, including:
- Health Ade Kombucha
- Spin Drift
- Yerbae
- Hop Water
- Alc-a-Chino Ready to Drink Cocktails
- Country Archer Meat Snacks
- Neuro Gum & Mints
- Sweet Chaos Popcorn
As the nation’s third-largest convenience store and
fifth-largest pizza chain, Casey’s continues to innovate and expand
its food and beverage offerings, aligned with the company’s
commitment to offering high-quality, affordable products that meet
guests’ needs.
Guests can begin looking for new store products in the coming
months. Suppliers interested in participating in Casey’s 2025
