Casey’s is calling for applications to its 2025 Innovation Summit. The annual competitive event focuses on finding brands with new, unique products to distribute across the retailer’s 2,900 stores. “We received an overwhelming response and were impressed by a range of brands last year. We look forward to seeing new, differentiated and potentially exclusive products this year that will continue to help us unlock an unexpected convenience experience for our guests,” said Chris Stewart, vice president of merchandising at Casey’s, in a news release. Casey’s 2024 Product Innovation Summit selected over a dozen new suppliers. Now through May 19, food and beverage companies can apply online. Applications are being managed through RangeMe and those selected must be able to attend an initial, virtual meeting in July with the possibility of being invited to the in-person 2025 Innovation Summit in Ankeny Aug. 6-7.
