Convenience store prepared food sales measure revenue from prepared food and dispensed beverages sold through Casey's stores.

Casey's reported $1.777 billion of prepared food and dispensed beverage revenue in fiscal 2026, up from $1.612 billion in fiscal 2025.

Prepared-food sales increased about $165 million

The increase was approximately $165.1 million, or about 10.2%.

That growth reflected same-store demand plus the larger store network.

Prepared food was about 28.0% of inside sales

Total inside sales were approximately $6.340 billion.

Dividing $1.777 billion by $6.340 billion gives about 28.0%.

The category contributed more gross profit than its sales share

Prepared food generated about 38.9% of inside gross profit because its margin was 58.6%.

Use Convenience Store Prepared Food Margin and Convenience Store Inside Gross Profit to connect sales mix with contribution.
