Casey's to Acquire 20 Oklahoma ASAP Energy Stores in Latest Expansion Move

Casey’s General Stores has agreed to acquire select assets of Oklahoma-based ASAP Energy, including 20 convenience stores and ASAP’s wholesale and commercial fuels and lubricants operations. The deal is Casey’s second acquisition of 20 or more stores this summer, following an August agreement covering 24 Pak-A-Sak locations in Texas.

The Iowa-based chain already operated nearly 150 stores in Oklahoma as of this summer and runs close to 3,000 locations across 19 states. Company leadership has said the goal is to add at least 400 stores over three years, which means the Casey’s name and its signature pizza and prepared food could soon replace familiar signage in more Oklahoma communities.

For local drivers, the practical effect is likely more options for fuel, food, and grabbing essentials in a hurry, plus added competition for existing gas stations and quick-stops. As with any acquisition, questions remain about how ASAP employees and individual store operations will be affected once the deal closes.
