Grand Rapids Is in for a Change with Maverik’s Rebranding of Kum & Go Stations
Exciting news is on the horizon for the folks in Grand Rapids and its nearby neighborhoods! In 2023, _Maverik_, a wildly popular chain of convenience stores in the western United States, took over the Kum & Go stores and is now set to rebrand all seven of Kum & Go’s locations in the greater Grand Rapids area. That’s right—grand changes are coming your way!
Kum & Go—A Family-Owned Favorite
As many locals know, Kum & Go has been a beloved staple in the community since it started serving folks back in 1959. This Iowa-based convenience store chain has over 400 locations scattered throughout the Midwest and West, but the Grand Rapids locations are now stepping into a brand new chapter.
Maverik Takes Over
The seven Kum & Go stores under Maverik’s care are located in Grand Rapids, Walker, Wyoming, Kentwood, and Grandville. You’ll soon see the familiar Kum & Go branding transform into the flashy and adventurous style Maverik is known for. It’s a big change, but one that promises a lot of exciting new offerings!
New Maverik Coming Soon
But wait, there’s more! Maverik isn’t just stopping at the rebranding of the existing locations. They’re also busy constructing an _eighth location_ in Wyoming on 54th Street, expected to open its doors in April 2025. This location will find itself nestled among busy commercial spots like Meijer, Target, and Chick-fil-A, making it the perfect pit-stop for all your convenience store needs.
What to Expect at the New Maverik
The new Maverik will feature six vehicle fueling dispensers, enabling up to twelve vehicles to fuel up at once. If you’re one to fill up often, this should make your visit a breeze! It will be open 24/7, which means you can pop by any hour of the day, whether it’s bright and sunny or late at night. Maverik also plans to hire up to five workers for this location, creating local jobs.
And what about the goodies inside? Expect to be delighted with a range of convenience store essentials as well as some tasty options from Maverik’s famous BonFire line, which includes burritos, salads, wraps, and pizzas. That’s right; on top of fueling your vehicle, you’ll be fueling your stomach too! But that’s not all—Maverik will also be offering ice, propane, firewood, and even road salt, making it a one-stop-shop for many of your needs.
Existing Kum & Go Customers Take Note
Now, for those of you who are established Kum & Go customers, take heed! When the rebranding happens, you won’t be able to transfer your rewards points to Maverik. It’s a good idea to use up any accumulated points before the transition takes place. Make sure you don’t lose out!
An Adventure Awaits
Maverik is all about creating an _adventure-themed_ shopping experience. Their plans include enhancing fuel options, food service, and inside-store offerings to give customers something unique and memorable. So get ready for a fun, new experience every time you walk into a Maverik store!
Looking Ahead
With Maverik taking over, the future looks bright for convenience store lovers in Grand Rapids.
