CNBC: Casey’s General Stores, under pressure from activist investor JCP Investment Management, has submitted an initial bid for Kroger’s roughly $2 billion convenience store business, sources familiar with the situation said. JCP Investment Management in January called for the Ankeny-based convenience store operator to explore strategic alternatives, including a potential sale. Buying Kroger’s convenience store business could stave off pressure to sell, sources say.
