New eco-friendly store features fresh food and a variety of fuel options.
Kum & Go has opened a new 5,000-square-foot convenience store in Springfield, Mo., at 609 E. Elm St. The new store is approximately 2,000 square feet larger than the previous store, which was razed to make way for the spacious, eco-friendly building.
The new store is designed to provide fast and friendly service for customers, with a “Go Fresh Market” offering a wide array of freshly made-to-order pizzas, baked goods, and breakfast and deli sandwiches—all prepared daily in Kum & Go’s onsite kitchen. Customers are invited to stop by during opening week to enjoy fresh pizza for only $1 a slice.
Outside, a wide array of fuel options give customers more choices and value at the pump. The new store sells diesel and has added E-85 gasoline, which had not been available previously at this location.
Kum & Go stores are saving energy and water through the company’s commitment to sustainable practices. New stores, such as the one opening in Springfield, are designed, constructed and submitted for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. Kum & Go currently has 67 LEED-certified stores, with 16 additional projects under construction—the most of any convenience retailer in the nation.
Kum & Go now has 38 stores in Springfield and 73 stores throughout Missouri.
