Casey’s General Stores is gearing up to make a splash in Topeka with the construction of a new convenience store and gas station at the 17th and Washburn Ave shopping center. Pouring concrete is now underway at the site, as Casey’s prepares to open this location, which will feature the brand’s well-loved food offerings, including pizza, wings, sandwiches, and of course breakfast pizza, because who doesn”t need a weird concoction of eggs to start your day in your truck or at the office. Set to take over a significant portion of the current shopping center, Casey’s aims to provide convenience to central Topeka.
