Casey’s General Store Freeport, Illinois Set to Open February 2 at 5:00 a.m – See 5 Month Progress Here
Freeport, Illinois — It was September 18 of last year when we first announced a new Casey’s General Store coming to Freeport. We have confirmed that after just 5 months of construction Casey’s new store, located in Freeport’s former Farm & Fleet location across from Applebee’s on Highway 26 South, will open at 5:00 a.m. on February 2, 2018.
Casey’s was founded in 1959 by Don Lamberti. According to Casey’s website, Lamberti leased a store from his father on East 14th and Broadway in Des Moines, Iowa. Today there are over 2,000 locations.
Here’s what the progress has looked like over time.

Horribly designed lot no diesel pumps or truck parking
What world are you from!!!!!!
Robert Mordick ?
They are coming from what I’ve heard just not right away
No trucks gonna want to come through this town the way the roads are
Just farmers
They could just ride the ditch it would be alot smoother
I think Freeport has enough fuel stations
Gas is a secondary product for them. It’s all about the food. And it’s fantastic.
Jono German I agree Casey’s has good food but why not bring other businesses into Freeport
What do you suggest?
restaurants that you can sit down and eat at. Have you noticed that Applebee’s is always busy think of the income Freeport would generate with another place like that on the main strip of Freeport. Maybe a bakery flower shop tons of things that could go there. I mean there are two other gas stations right there. But if food is the main thing then of course put a restaurant
Should have got an ihop in the old blockbuster building
You can sit down and eat at most casey’s
Brandon Stearns not the same thing
Freeport doesn’t generate enough traffic for large franchises to come here…
How do you explain Dunkin doughnuts and Starbucks
Also Walmart menards farm and fleet
That taco pizza! Can’t wait
We need a truck stop put in
William Almasy don’t believe that where Casey’s is would be a good spot maybe where the old Kmart was
Yuk!!! Casey’s food
Waiting patiently for their pizza
Where’s this located
26 across from Applebee’s.
God bless
Decent pizza and great pastries; donuts
Just clarifying
Pastries and donuts Wags????
Most of my friends know what donuts are not pastries
I thought it was susposed to be a place for truckers to. Fuel and pRk if needed to but not looking like that so far
I saw a lot of lights in there last night
And All the work was done by non Freeport companies!!!!
What day is it supposed to open?
Feb 2
We open at 5am on Feb 2nd

People say Freeport needs more business/jobs. Business comes, creates jobs. Then they bitch about what buissnes or types of jobs. Smh
