In 1959, Donald Lamberti leased a service station in Des Moines, Iowa, from his father. After successfully remodeling the station into a convenience store and operating it for nine years, his gasoline supplier and friend, Kurvin C. (K.C.) Fish, suggested that he purchase the Square Deal Oil Company, a service station available for sale in Boone, Iowa. Lamberti followed Fish 's advice and purchased the station, which he renamed "Casey 's '' after Fish and as with his leased store converted the station into a convenience store. The logo on the Boone store is the same logo used today by the Casey 's chain.
