Kum & Go Stores Bid Wyoming Goodbye By 2024

Kum & Go's parent company, Krause Group, has sold the Kum & Go brand and its sibling Solar Transport to FJ Management. Though you may not have heard of FJ Management, whose portfolio spans petroleum, healthcare, and hospitality-related assets, chances are you've heard of the gas station brand it owns, Maverik -Adventure's First Stop.

The rebranding of Kum & Go to Maverik creates a massive footprint for the Salt Lake City-based business. The press release states, "The closing of this transaction creates a best-in-class convenience store network across the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions, growing Maverik's footprint to over 800 stores in 20 states with approximately 14,000 Team Members."

Maverik CEO and Chief Adventure Guide Chuck Maggelet told Business Record that aside from Wyoming locations, Kum & Go locations in Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Utah will face rebranding in early 2024. "Those stores are in territories where we feel Maverik has a more established brand," Magglet said.

Kum & Go won't fade into the history books entirely, however. Maggelet told Business Record, "The Kum & Go brand name will be kept in states in which Maverik doesn't currently operate."
