Casey’s General Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ:CASY) is one of the stocks in focus in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer seemed quite bullish on the company during the episode, as he remarked:

“We’re going to start Monday with one of the best retail concepts around, and you may not know it, but I want you to learn about it. It’s called Casey’s General Stores. This company has 2,900 convenience stores in 20 states and a breakfast pizza that’s more than just a gimmick. We love these guys. Now, we can make a ton of money owning an outfit like Casey’s that dominates in the smaller towns that it operates in.

You know, we had Casey’s on back in June, and I was stunned at how loved their stores were. And I tell you, I was stunned about how much I like the breakfast pizza, and we were thrilled to hear that the regional going international story is alive and well. They report after the close. I’d be willing to buy some both before the earnings and after. It’s just the kind of out-of-the-way story that could work in this tape. Not worried about tariffs here.”
