While a new Casey’s General Store in Washington is being built another one will be closing. Washington City staff confirmed the Casey’s General Store gas station at 304 East Washington Street, across from City Hall, is closing this month. The letter the City received stated the store near downtown will close permanently at 5 a.m. Thursday, December 29th. Construction on the new Casey’s began this fall after the council approved the site plan in May. Washington will still have two Casey’s one at 1002 West Madison Street and the second one at 1730 East Washington Street, although it is not yet known when it will officially open.
