New Casey's For Channahon Almost Done: Photos

CHANNAHON, IL — A start-up company that opened its first gas station in 1968 in little Boone, Iowa, just opened its 2,500 store in Lebanon, Indiana and this summer will mark another major milestone for Casey's here in Channahon.

In July, Channahon's newly built Casey's will open on Route 6, otherwise known as 25235 West Eames Street. The new Casey's is in the final stages of landscaping. The business was constructed on open land right next to Channahon's Casey's General Store. The existing gas station and convenience store will be torn down after the new Casey's opens, employees told Patch.

The Channahon Casey's features a bakery, pizza delivery, and for fuel, it offers unleaded E87, premium 91 and biodiesel fuel. The Casey's on Route 6 also offers wings, appetizers and sides, sandwiches, sweet treats, beers and hard seltzer, drinks, chips and snacks and other household staples such as milk, eggs and medicine cabinet items.

The brand-new Casey's will feature more fuel pumps, plus a car wash and vacuum service.

The construction of the new Casey's has been in the works for several years. Construction was initially set to take place prior to COVID-19. When the pandemic came, the Channahon development got delayed.

Now, in a matter of weeks, the entire construction project will be completed, and Channahon residents and area travelers will be able to visit the new Casey's.
