A new Casey’s convenience store and gas station is opening on Indianapolis Boulevard near Cabela’s in Hammond. It’s now under construction near the entrance to the Cabela’s and Super Walmart big-box stores, which have anchored a lot of new commercial development just off the Borman Expressway in Hammond in recent years.
“They have been delayed, but have started up again,” Hammond Director of Economic Development Anne Anderson said.
Iowa-based Casey’s was founded in 1968 and has grown to more than 2,400 locations.
It’s known for sandwiches, snacks, breakfast items and especially its pizza, which has a cult following. Casey’s delivers its pizza and was in fact the fifth-largest pizza chain in the United States in 2021 despite only being in 16 states.
It has locations across Northwest Indiana, including in Dyer, Griffith, Crown Point, Valparaiso, Hebron and Lowell. It’s especially popular in more rural communities like Remington, DeMotte and Wheatfield.
