My bad.

There is one going in at 134th and Penn, though.

Correct. Those two will each be about 1/2 mile from my house.

The first 2 OKC-area stores at now open: 13001 W. Reno (NEC of Cemetary) and 8000 W. Wilshire (SWC of Council); hours 5A-11P:

This could be yet another nail in the coffin for 7-11 and Circle K in OKC. These look much better than the Casey's stores I've seen in Missouri.

That’s a pretty plain unremarkable facility. It must be amazing inside based on remarks here about it running 7-11 out of the market.

Better than the one's I've seen in Arkansas too. I'm chalking it up to being a new building.

This is definitely it. The best Waffle House in OKC is the one at SW 59th and Independence, because it's by far the newest. Otherwise, I doubt there's much difference between this and most other Casey's locations across the Midwest.

Having been in the new OKC stores, they are like a smaller OnCue.

They have easy-access restrooms and lots of hot food options, but aren't as extensive otherwise.

Very similar to the nw 7-11's but light years ahead of 90% of their older locations. And the staff was incredibly friendly.

The SW 134th/Penn and SW 149th/Western stores may actually be too close together. That is maybe 2 blocks difference?

Then again, 7/11 seems to do fine with locations spaced that close together (like NW 12th/Santa Fe and SW 119th/Western).

Those 2 Casey's are actually 2 miles apart. And, strategically located on two different heavily traveled thoroughfares.
One is on South Western and the other on SW 134th.

I wonder if they have decided not to go forward with the 12500 N. Mustang ( Mustang and NW Expressway) location? They originally applied for a 4200 sq ft store in January of 2019. Then in February of 2019 they applied for a 9500 sq ft building at the same location. As of today... both are still under review...fees have not been paid...and there is now a for sale sign on that lot.

Looks like ground broke on the Hefner/Council Caseys

Ground broken on the Tri City store!

Do you mean the former nursery on highway 37, just east of Walmart, McDonalds, etc? That's actually going to be Domino Convenience Store according the the City of Newcastle's Facebook page.

What if they switched convenience store branding to Casey's?

This is listed on the Domino website

DOMINO C-STORE #130
COMING SOON
1520 NW 32nd
Newcastle, OK 73065

Casey's going up at SW 29th & Morgan. as well.

It could be they announced prematurely and got the rug pulled out from underneath them like On Cue did to 7-11 at 59th and Western,

Anyone hearing anything about all of their OKC area locations being temporarily closed?

I just called a couple of them and they answered the phone and said they were open.

The one being built at Mogan and SW 29th has construction going again. It was spittle idle for about a month. A person in the area called corporate and said Casey was going through a corporate structure and projects are moving again.

Is there one going on Rte 66 somewhere, or is that an On Cue?

OnCue at Route 66 and Kilpatrick Turnpike.

I believe it is Casey's that is underway at Rt66 & Sara Road in the Route 66 Plaza.

I just called a couple of them and they answered the phone and said they were open.

The Reno Ave - Cemetery Road location was closed all day Friday (July 3), for 24 hours, for "deep cleaning" but we never saw anyone there and the inside was dark with all the lights off.

Any idea when Caseys at Council/Hefner will be built? That whole big area next to/behind corner is torn up and being graded with a big drainage pond for a development. It almost seems they tore up part of corner lot so maybe Caseys is piggy backing on using this company? Or maybe not?

Sw 29th and Morgan road is scheduled to open September 17th.

Caseys going in at NW 39th and Penn

Took these tonight at 39th & Penn, as they were closed and cleaning up inside; I bet they reopen tomorrow.

Caseys going in at NW 39th and Penn

Is that a new build or is that a rebranding and remodel of the c-store on bend?

It's the same exact building. At least it appears that way on Google Streetview.

It's an old Circle K.

I was in it before and it was a trashy mess. Just cleaning it up a bit has made a big difference.

Thanks I was drawing blank and forgot about the store on the ne corner.

I hear all of the old Circle Ks will become Casey's.

Yes, I went to the store on 39th & Penn today and one of the traveling managers from Missouri was there and he said Casey's bought 50 Circle K locations (in the region I'm guessing?) all to be converted.

49 in Oklahoma. About 31 in the OKC area.

They have a new distribution center in Joplin, MO to service them all.

The station at 33rd and Boulevard in Edmond was being converted tonight.

they are well underway at converting the store at AirDepot and I40 across from tinker .... and there is now even a flash back there .. they are redoing the awning and the old Texaco logo's are underneath and now visible

I have enjoyed watching all of these be gradually converted. They were hard at work on the one at SH-66 and Yukon Parkway this morning.

If you download the app and look at their locations, the two I find most peculiar are at Broadway & 63rd. Both gas stations on either side are listed as Casey's. Seems interesting.

Yeah, they were both Circle K's for many years.

Almost all these properties are leases, so I suspect Casey's might not renew both with the time comes.

Oh they're ALLLLL over town. Everywhere i look, something is turning into a Casey's. A CHEAP version of Casey's, but it is one. There's no barn front. Just plain red and white signs....ie the bare minimum re-branding effort. I'm a bit disappointed in that, but maybe that will come later??

the barn front is not part of even brand new builds of Casey stores ..

Casey's just closed on the purchase of 39 Circle K's in Oklahoma; almost all of them in the OKC area.

They are changing over the signage and cleaning up the stores a bit as they go, but are doing all this in a span of a couple of weeks. Imagine trying to open 39 locations all at once.

I'm very sure once they complete this phase they'll go back and start more serious renovations, but that is going to take years given the number of stores.

I hope they got rid of the card skimmers at the pumps at the Circle K/Casey's location at 134th and S. Western. They were there just days before the changeover at that location started.

The Subway in the Bricktown Circle K is closed, this store should look more like a traditional Casey's because they are going to use the space for pizza and donuts the cashier told me. Sad to see the Subway gone, but Casey's can make a statement if they get this one looking like the existing stores

^

Here is that old Subway space in Bricktown; I snapped this on Sunday.

That Circle K is one of the most disgusting mainly because there is a big homeless population all around and then the store workers don't clean anything up. I made the mistake of going into the restroom and it was one of the most disgusting scenes I've ever encountered.

I know they have a long way to go with the old Circle K stores, but they've already done a nice job of cleaning them up and making them more orderly.

If only 7/11 would do the same with its multitude of old, crappy locations.

Has anyone else been getting more Circle K ads online recently?

I spoke with their regional general manager recently. I asked him what has been his biggest challenge since acquiring Circle K. Immediately he said, "unable to find people to work".

I wonder when we are going to see some vending machine convenience stores become more popular with attached gas stations. Someone just needs to rip off Japanese convenience stores in OKC. You would be able to have fewer staff and offer a better overall experience than any other gas station convenience stores in Oklahoma.

Most likely in the US in general if you're going off of japanese combinis

This is the converted former Circle K at 39th & Penn.

They have really cleaned this place up. The windows had been cluttered with tacky posters and tons of stuff was piled up inside and outside.

I'm sure they will eventually getting around to doing much more but this has already been a big improvement.

It may have been mentioned already but I noticed that Casey's owns a corner lot at NW 192nd (Danforth) and Penn, so the new 7-11 at NW 178th & May will some immediate competition.

Oh, that 39th & Penn location is right by me, I did not realize it one of the conversions. I normally never use that convenience store, I will have to give it a look since it already does look so much better.

Oh yes, that would be very interesting to have an originally built free-standing Casey's built there and not just a conversion. Very good competition indeed!
