Kum & Go closing downtown Des Moines "fuel-less" store

Flashback: Last year, Krause Group finalized the sale of Kum & Go to Utah-based Maverik.

• Changes have slowly rolled out since then, including rebranding Kum & Go in other states and the end of the chain's made-to-order food program.

What they're saying: The downtown walk-up store no longer fits the company's long-term plans for Des Moines, Boland says.

What's next: Kum & Go will keep the downtown space and repurpose it for internal use such as training, Boland says.
