FAN OF KUM & GO? THEIR STORES ACROSS COLORADO WILL BE GONE BY 2024

There are a lot of Kum & Go convenience stores across the Centennial State; before long we'll say "There used to be a lot of Kum & Gos."

Convenience stores are just that: Convenient. Gas, snacks, a restroom break, and maybe some lotto tickets.

By 2024, the snickering, giggling, and uncomfortableness of saying "I gotta stop at Kum & Go" in Colorado, will be a thing of the past.

Google Maps

Kum & Go has been around since 1959, starting out in Hampton, Iowa, which still today, is a small town. Today, Kum & Go is no more. Its story has come to the end of its road trip, so to speak.

In a large acquisition, Kum & Go was bought out by a competitor, and that competitor will be taking over, turning Kum & Gos in four states into their brand.

WHO OWNS KUM & GO NOW?

Kum & Go was purchased by FJ Management which runs the Maverik chain of convenience stores.

You may have seen a few Maveriks around Colorado; they're not a new guy on the scene when it comes to convenience stores.

They are based out of Utah, but with the purchase of the Iowa-based Kum & Go, they did donate $50,000 to The Des Moines Public Schools Foundation, so that's nice.

Maverik announced in late August of 2023, that by 2024 Kum & Go stores in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho will be branded "Maverik."

TRAVEL 25 MILES ON COLORADO'S BEST ROAD TRIP

Are you ready to pile in the car and embark on a 25-mile journey considered by some to be Colorado's best road trip? It's just down the road on U.S. Route 550.

The Discoverer's pick for the best road trip in Colorado is none other than the famous Million Dollar Highway. According to Durango.com, the Million Dollar Highway section of U.S. Highway 550 connects Ouray and Silverton, Colorado. Along the way, you'll find a number of small adventure towns and ghost-mining villages.
