Family-owned convenience retail chain Kum & Go has announced it will be entering the Michigan market with a set of Grand Rapids area stores expected to open in 2022.

This marks the second expansion this year for the Des Moines-based company, which recently announced plans to expand to Utah. The company has a widespread presence across the Midwest and western parts of the country, with over 400 stores in eleven states.

“Kum & Go will create quality jobs, give back to and help develop the community, and make days better for a whole new set of customers.  We think Grand Rapids and Kum & Go are a great match,” said Kum & Go CEO Tanner Krause.

Stores feature made-to-order sandwiches, pizza, and baked goods, alongside an array of beverages, and snacks, with a wide selection of healthy options. They also carry health aids, phone accessories, and craft beers and wines.

“Kum & Go is looking forward to entering another new state this year with this expansion into Michigan and pushing our footprint further east. We love Grand Rapids and see plenty of opportunity for growth beyond,” said Senior Vice President of Store Development, Niki Mason.

Established in Hampton, Iowa, in 1959, Kum & Go is a family-owned convenience store chain focusing on exceptional service and delivering more than customers expect.
