The Kum & Go name is eventually being retired.
New York (CNN) Kum & Go, the Midwestern gas station chain that gained national fame for the immature snickers its name often receives, is making a change.
Maverik, a rival chain that bought Kum & Go in 2023, announced that its in process of rebranding Kum & Go stores, with the intent to unify our entire combined footprint under the Maverik brand, marking an eventual end to the 49-year-old naughty name.
While were committed to this vision, we are taking a thoughtful, market-by-market approach to ensure the best customer experience before confirming each states rebrand, a Maverick spokesperson said in a statement to CNN. A specific timeline for when the Kum & Go name will be fully retired wasnt revealed.

I am bereft!
I am so proud to live within a mile of 3 Kim & Go gas stations.
Kim & Go is an institution. We need a Change.org petition to stop this from happening.
This world is changing too fast for me.
