Colorado Kum & Go Stores Will Be Gone By 2024

Sep 1, 2023, 5:02 PM

Right now it’s hard to go more than a couple of blocks in most Colorado cities without seeing a Kum & Go convenience store and gas station… Soon though, they’ll all be gone! 

Colorado has 83 Kum & Go’s, the second most of any state outside of the companies home state of Iowa, which has 100 stores. 

All 83 in Colorado and every one of them in other states too will soon be rebranded to become Maverik stores. This after Kum & Go was purchased by FJ Management which runs the Maverik chain of convenience stores.

In a social media post Maverik said; “We are excited to welcome Kum & Go and Solar Transport Team Members to Maverik,” said Chuck Maggelet, CEO and Chief Adventure Guide of Maverik. “Together, we’ll offer our customers an adventurous and differentiated convenience store experience across fuel, foodservice, and inside-store offerings. We look forward to using our combined resources to grow our business and further elevate our product offerings to provide the best service to our customers.”

The rebrand from Kum & Go’s to Maverik’s will begin in January of 2024.
