to the region
Today, Casey’s General Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq symbol CASY),
Governor of Missouri Mike Parson, Mayor of Joplin Ryan Stanley, and
the Joplin Chamber of Commerce celebrated the grand opening of
Casey’s new, $62 million distribution center in Joplin. The new,
state-of-the-art warehouse, logistics and distribution facility
adds 125 jobs to the region.
“Casey’s has had a long-standing presence in Missouri and
provided opportunities to thousands of Missourians across the
state,” Governor Mike Parson said. “We appreciate Casey’s continued
commitment and look forward to its future growth and success.”
The new facility is the company’s third distribution center and
will serve 400 to 600 of the company’s stores. Casey’s operates
over 2,200 convenience stores throughout the Midwest and South with
approximately 500 stores across Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas and
Arkansas.
“Every day at Casey’s, we are providing guests freshly prepared
foods and the products they need and want. Our Joplin distribution
team will play a key role in delivering on this promise,” said
Darren Rebelez, President and Chief Executive Officer at Casey’s.
“We appreciate the support from the state of Missouri and city of
Joplin as we worked to make this project a reality. Casey’s Joplin
Distribution Center is key to our plan for accelerated store growth
over the next two years.”
“We welcome Casey’s distribution center to Joplin,” said Mayor
Ryan Stanley. “We are excited and pleased with their decision to
expand their operations here in southwest Missouri. Casey’s is a
well-known brand and respected by their customers throughout the
Midwest. Their center is a great fit for our industrial park, and
we appreciate all of our partners for their work to bring this
project to Joplin. It is a boost for our local economy by providing
quality jobs and opportunities for our community.”
The City of Joplin, Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce, Missouri
Department of Economic Development, Liberty Utilities, Missouri
American Water, Missouri Partnership, MOKAN Regional Partnership
and Spire all worked to bring Casey's newest facility to
Missouri.
“Here in Missouri, we couldn’t do what we do without the support
of our partner organizations across the state,” Missouri
Partnership CEO Subash Alias said. “I always say that economic
development and business attraction is a team sport, and that rings
especially true with this project. I would like to thank all of our
partners for their hard work in attracting Casey's General Stores
to Missouri.”
The new distribution center is located at 2902 South Jaguar
Road, Joplin, Mo. Casey’s has two other distribution centers
located in Ankeny, Ia., and Terra Haute, Ind.
