“This acquisition will allow Casey’s to accelerate our unit growth plan with high-quality assets that, along with our recent 22 store acquisition in northern Texas, will provide an expanded presence in Texas and allow us to continue to expand in the state and region,” said Darren Rebelez, Board Chair, President and CEO of Casey’s in a press release.
Casey’s General Stores, Inc., one of the largest convenience store chains in the U.S., announced it will acquire Fikes Wholesale, Inc., the owner of CEFCO Convenience Stores, in an all-cash deal worth $1.145 billion.
The agreement will add 148 Casey’s stores in Texas and 50 more across Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi. It also includes a fuel terminal and a commissary to support operations in Texas.
“I am happy that the CEFCO stores will join a top convenience retailer that will reinvest in the stores,” said Raymond Smith, President of Fikes and CEFCO. “The acquisition by Casey’s, especially given its reputation and shared values, is an exciting development for Fikes and our employees.”
