Proposed Site Location for Possible New Casey’s

Casey’s General Store is moving forward with plans to consolidate three current stores in Pella at a new location on the corner of Main and Union Street.

Vice President of Finance at Casey’s Brian Johnson tells KNIA/KRLS News they have been working with the city on a new plan after they had a variance application denied by the Board of Adjustment last December.

Johnson believes Casey’s has been responding to concerns from nearby residents by trying to work closely with city officials to ensure a quality building will be placed at the site.

“We absolutely listen to the community, we want to be good neighbors like we have been for the past 25 plus years we’ve been in town,” he says. “For us, we feel like the architecture drawings and designs we have in place absolutely fit in with the look and feel of Pella.”

Planning and Zoning Director George Wesselhoft says Casey’s is still going through the site review process, and an official date has not been set for a design review meeting or to review permit applications, which would be the next official steps.
