Don't forget Hitler's contributions to medicine.

quote:

Months after family-run Maverik closed on the venerable Iowa-based chain with roughly 400 stores, the Utah retailer famous for its Adventure First Stop theme and sporty exterior design has chosen to retire the Kum & Go brand. Kum & Go was launched in 1963, four years after founders Bill Krause and his father in-law Tony Gentle entered the retail world.

None of the sources interviewed would agree to be quoted on the record, but multiple people with knowledge of Maverik’s broader strategy said that upon deeper consideration and comprehensive assessment of the two chains, the Maverik brand resonated more impactfully in its markets than Kum & Go did in the heart of its Midwestern terrain.

“I think there was some concern about the inadvertent double entendre of the Kum & Go name,” a former Maverik member shared. “I also believe that [Maverik CEO] Chuck Maggelet envisions growing Maverik into a multi-regional brand, and he’s not deterred by Casey’s, Kwik Trip or other well-respected brands in the Midwest.”

Very sad to see see one of the most prolific brands in Kumming going away.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris
