Casey’s General Stores and Monster Energy are teaming up on a beverage that celebrates 250 years of American independence.
Monster’s Ultra Red, White and Blue Razz, which comes in a patriotic can, is available now in Ankeny, Iowa-based Casey’s convenience stores and CEFCO locations, which Casey’s acquired in November 2024. The beverage from Corona, California-based Monster will launch nationally in May.
“Standing with our military community is core to who we are at Casey’s,” said Chris Stewart, vice president of merchandising at Casey’s. “The only thing better than this patriotic can is the cause, and we couldn’t be prouder to partner with Monster in support of our country and the brave men and women who defend it.”
- Casey’s General Stores Inc. is No. 3 on CSP’s 2025 Top 202 ranking of convenience-store chains by store count.
Monster's latest flavor is “a light, refreshing and super easy drinking birthday cheers to America,” Casey’s said. “Made with zero sugar like all Monster Ultras, its blue raspberry flavor profile is reminiscent of a cold rocket pop on a hot July Fourth day, and wrapped in stars and stripes, the can raises a salute to America’s story with images of national monuments, iconic landmarks and epic moments.”
Michael Carson, vice president of convenience west at Monster Energy, said, “Supporting our military and our veterans is one of our most sacred values here at Monster.”
As part of the campaign, Casey’s has pledged $100,000 toward two nonprofits supporting the military community, Hope For The Warriors (HOPE) and Fallen Patriots Foundation. Monster will match the contribution, bringing the total donation to $200,000.
As part of this limited-time offer rollout at Casey’s, Ultra Red, White and Blue Razz also will be available through Monster Energy’s military channels and thus available to troops stationed at U.S. military bases.
HOPE is a national nonprofit dedicated to helping military veterans, active-duty service members, caregivers and families of the fallen find stability and support as they recover or transition to civilian life. Fallen Patriots Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides college and trade school scholarships, educational assistance and career support to military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty.
Ankeny, Iowa-based Casey’s has approximately 2,900 convenience stores in 20 states. It is the third-largest c-store retailer and the fifth-largest pizza chain in the United States. In fiscal 2025, Casey’s built or acquired 270 stores, a record for the company. The majority came via Casey’s November 2024 acquisition of 198 CEFCO stores from Fikes Wholesale.
