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.
