20:34
Q&A — Analyst: Greg Milick (Evercore ISI)
Darren discusses consumer trends, highlighting shifts among low-income groups and challenges in beer, snacks, and tobacco categories. While soft sales in snacks persist due to national brand pricing actions, Casey’s private label snacks showed growth (+16%).

Q&A — Analyst: Tom Palmer (JPMorgan)

26:07
Q&A — Analyst: Bonnie Herzog (Goldman Sachs)
