Seminary Street Casey’s Set to Open June 18th

Caseys General Store LogoAfter more than a year since it was announced, the second Casey’s General Store that is being built in Galesburg has announced an official opening date of June 18th. That’s according to Casey’s Area Supervisor Donnie Jones, who says grand opening ceremonies will take place the following week on June 26th and 27th.

Construction to the property at the intersection of Seminary Street and Carl Sandburg Drive was halted this past July, due to issues regarding the construction of a new sewer system. Jones tells WGIL that additional delays had a lot to do with cold weather as well.

“It’s just mostly all been weather related, this winter the ground froze up real well and kind of held up the sewage system going in out there, since that’s all undeveloped land,” says Jones. “That was our biggest challenge.”

Jones says the Seminary Street location will have new features and a new design.

“Bigger selection in the coolers, more cooler doors, we’ve got a bigger beer cave out there, and we’ve still got the sub shop and the kitchen, the overall look of the store is just completely different the way the store is set up,” says Jones.

Diesel fuel will also be sold at the new location. Jones says the company is excited to “make the community proud.”
