Class-action lawsuit alleges Casey’s not honoring in-store discounts
A class-action lawsuit accuses Casey’s General Stores of failing to apply advertised in-store discounts in five Midwestern states.Summary
A class-action lawsuit filed in Iowa alleges that Casey’s General Stores is charging customers full price on items advertised at a discount in stores across Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The suit includes photographic evidence, such as images of signs advertising 2-for-$4 Four Loko beverages and 2-for-$6 Smirnoff Ice beverages, alongside corresponding receipts showing customers were charged $3.50 per can. The lawsuit claims “further investigation showed similar advertised discounts…that were not applied at the point of sale” for various items, including candy. This legal action follows a separate lawsuit from March alleging Casey’s attempted to limit competition at its gas pumps through a conspiracy involving an Iowa Board of Regents member and intimidation tactics against a potential business competitor, JF Acquisitions. Casey’s operates over 2,000 stores in the Midwest and South.
