Casey’s General Stores has opened a new distribution center in Missouri that will serve 400 to 600 of the company's stores. Casey's operates more than 2,200 convenience stores in the U.S.

Missouri has seen a tremendous amount of success in logistics and distribution, welcoming more than $200 million in new capital investment in just the past few months.

"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."

Casey's is investing $62 million in the new facility, and company executives expect to hire around 125 employees.

The new facility is the company's third distribution center. Missouri has seen a tremendous amount of success in logistics and distribution, welcoming companies such as e-commerce giant Chewy, Inc., BoxyCharm, Melaleuca, Inc., Optimas Solutions, and Kenco Logistics Services, Inc. in recent months.
