Kum & Go, L.C. was a convenience store chain primarily located in the Midwestern United States. Started by William A. Krause and Tony S. Gentle, the company was headquartered at Des Moines, Iowa and operated 116 stores in 10 states—primarily in its home state of Iowa.
In addition to its home state, Kum & Go had units in Arkansas, Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. It was ranked as the 24th-largest convenience store chain in the United States by Convenience Store News in 2019.
On August 30, 2023, Maverik and its parent company, FJ Management, completed the acquisition of the chain. The conversion of Kum and Go stores was completed by November 2025, and most locations are now branded as Maverik, or were acquired by Casey's and Mega Saver.
