Mergers & Acquisitions announced its 2022 Mid-Market Deals of the Year, recognizing Casey's General Stores, Inc.’s May 2021 acquisition of Buchannan Energy for $580 million as an honorable mention. It was the only retail deal to be recognized.
Husch Blackwell served as counsel to Casey’s in the all-cash transaction for approximately 175 Bucky’s Convenience Stores, as well as multiple parcels of real estate for future new store construction, which increased Casey’s footprint to more than 2,300 stores.
