Kum & Go chain announces Utah expansion
The fuel and convenience chain Kum & Go will enter the Utah market with 30 stores.
Convenience retail chain Kum & Go will be entering the Utah market with 30 initial stores. The first ones are set to open in the Salt Lake City area in 2022.
The Des Moines-based company currently has a widespread presence across the Midwest and western parts of the country, with over 400 stores in eleven states.
“We are excited to bring Kum & Go’s unique brand of fun, flavor and convenience to Utah,” said Kum & Go CEO Tanner Krause. “I love the state and the energy in a city like Salt Lake is hard to beat. I’m looking forward to bringing a new type of convenience – along with some breakfast pizza – to Utah.”
Kum & Go stores focus on fresh food and friendly staff in a well-lit store with upscale and uncluttered aisles. Stores features made-to-order sandwiches, pizza, and baked goods, alongside an array of beverages, and snacks, with a wide selection of healthy options.
“This is the first new state Kum & Go is entering in over ten years and we’re thrilled to continue to add to our western footprint with Utah,” said Senior Vice President of Store Development, Niki Mason. “We plan for an initial rollout of more than 30 stores in the next five years and see plenty of opportunity for growth beyond.”
Established in Hampton, Iowa, in 1959, Kum & Go has since grown to employ 5,000 associates.
