Casey's Spent Two Years Developing A Square Pizza; Rural America Says It Was Worth The Wait
The convenience chain adds pan pizza to every store after finding many of its markets had nowhere to get one.
ANKENY, Iowa—Casey's General Stores is adding pan pizza to its menu at all stores on Wednesday after about two years of development, C-Store Dive reported. The square pie has a fluffy crust and toppings to the edge. Casey's said many of its markets lacked easy access to pan pizza, and a quarter of survey respondents said they go out of their way to get one.

"Two years is a long time to make a square," said a fictional customer in Boone, Iowa. "But I also took two years to fix my fence, and that was also mostly a rectangle."
The Daily SKU is satire. Headlines and stories riff on real e-commerce, CPG and retail news, but the people, quotes, studies, surveys and most numbers are invented.
