“Inside same-store sales outperformed the industry, up 2.6%, or 7.1% on a two-year stack basis, led by strong performance in hot sandwiches and bakery as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Our fuel team grew market share and produced a healthy margin, as fuel gross profit increased 10.7% from the prior year. The operations team performed exceptionally well during the year, driving strong performance, integrating the most new units in Casey’s history, while reducing same-store labour hours for the twelfth consecutive quarter.”
