Kum & Go launches specialty coffee brand across 300 stores
The retailer has expanded its partnership with BLK & Bold throughout outlets located in 13 states one year later after its initial roll out.
Kum & Go continues to grow its partnership with beverage company BLK & Bold to roll out their sustainably sourced, specialty grade coffee in over 300 convenience stores across 13 states. This expansion follows the initial launch of the brand in select locations in January 2022.
BLK & Bold is the first Black owned nationally distributed coffee company dedicated to bringing accessibility and quality to consumers.
The brand sources Fair Trade and direct trade 100% Arabica coffee from Ethiopia, Central and South America. The process is monitored and roasted in Des Moines by experts and utilizes precise formulas to emphasize natural flavors notes from blueberries to caramel in their wide range of assortments.
“Kum & Go’s national partnership with BLK & Bold is the latest in our journey to bring a fresh perspective to the convenience space. BLK & Bold’s coffee is as fine a cup as you will find in our industry. Combining quality with the philanthropic values of the brand is a key reason why their company is growing rapidly and why they are an obvious fit with Kum & Go’s values,” said Tanner Krause, CEO of Kum & Go.
Kum & Go is also actively continuing to expand their new made-to-order food program that offers fresh meals for customers to order on the spot in over 100 stores. The convenience store chain is taking these steps in an effort to keep healthier choices and quality at the forefront as part of their new initiatives and branding.
