Casey's reported $2.199 million of average inside sales per mature store in fiscal 2026, up from $2.095 million in fiscal 2025.

Inside sales per mature store increased about 5.0%

The dollar increase was approximately $104,000 per store.

Dividing $104,000 by $2.095 million gives roughly 5.0% year-over-year growth.

Inside sales were about 37.4% of average retail sales

Average retail sales per mature store were $5.879 million.

Dividing $2.199 million by $5.879 million gives about 37.4%, with fuel representing most of the remaining retail-sales dollars.

Inside sales mix and category contribution
Inside sales combine grocery and general merchandise with prepared food and dispensed beverages. Category sales and category contribution margins determine how mix shifts change the economics of the inside-store basket.

Fuel throughput and per-gallon economics
Retail fuel economics depend on physical gallons and contribution per gallon. Average gallons per mature store and same-store gallon growth help separate unit productivity from footprint expansion.
