Kum & Go Is Now Maverik. 6 Things Iowans Should Know About the Change

Your Kum & Go &Rewards points didn’t carry over when the store became Maverik.

The changes go well past this.

Here’s what Iowans should know now that Kum & Go is Maverik.

1. New Name on the Signs

Maverik confirmed in November 2024 that it planned to put its name on the Kum & Go stores it kept, aiming for one brand across its footprint.

Iowa’s first rebranded Maverik opened on July 22, 2025, at the Neola exit off I-80 in western Iowa.

Adair followed the next day.

The last two Kum & Go stores Maverik kept in Iowa, in Sloan and Sioux City, reopened as Maverik on Nov. 21, 2025.

The chainwide rebrand finished in late November 2025, though some stores still needed new exterior signs.

So if you spot an old logo on a building, the sign may simply be waiting on its replacement.

2. Store Closures

Maverik closed each store on the Corridor schedule at 6 p.m. on its scheduled day and reopened it as a Maverik at 6 a.m. on the fourth day.

The schedule for the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids area listed 16 stores closing between Oct. 18 and Nov. 2, 2025.

The store on Muscatine Avenue in Iowa City, for example, closed Oct. 20 and reopened Oct. 24.

In the Des Moines area, each closure worked out to 84 hours, or three and a half days without your store.

The Des Moines area was set to finish Oct. 21, 2025.

Iowa City stores were set to wrap up by the end of October, and some Cedar Rapids and Ames stores in early November.

3. Rewards Reset

Kum & Go &Rewards points didn’t carry over to Maverik’s rewards app when the Iowa switches began in July 2025.

The advice at the time was to spend those points at stores that hadn’t been rebranded yet.

Maverik also ended Kum & Go’s mobile ordering, so you’d need Maverik’s app to earn rewards at a converted store.

Maverik’s replacement is Adventure Club, which takes 2 cents off a gallon of fuel every day.

4. BonFire Food Program

Maverik ended Kum & Go’s made-to-order food and mobile ordering programs earlier in 2024, months before Iowa’s first Maverik opened in July 2025.

Rebranded stores offer Maverik’s BonFire food instead.

The food page lists a biscuit-and-gravy bowl, burritos and biscuits, plus pizza and hot dogs at lunch, all made in each store’s kitchen every day.

Items and availability can change by location, so your store’s menu may differ.

5. 20 Stores Sold to Mega Saver

Maverik sold about 20 Iowa Kum & Go stores to Mega Saver, an Omaha-area convenience store chain.

If yours was one of them, you got a new owner and a new name.

Iowa Capital Dispatch's list of 20 includes stores in Ames, Ankeny, Cedar Rapids, Okoboji, Urbandale and Winterset, among other towns.

A dozen of those stores are in Polk and Dallas counties, and Kum & Go's Iowa list ran to 96 locations.

Until the deal, Mega Saver had four Iowa stores, all in Council Bluffs.

The sale would give Mega Saver 24 Iowa stores.

Mega Saver said its stores would keep their hot food programs and all current employees.

At a Marion store, Mega Saver stickers advertised 11 cents off a gallon if you pay inside with cash or card.

Some of those stores won't carry the Maverik logo.

A couple of the other stores, including the one in De Soto, appear to be headed to Casey's.

6. Des Moines Office Layoffs

Maverik told the state in August 2025 that it would lay off 100 employees at its Des Moines regional headquarters.

The company set up that office in late 2023, shortly after buying Kum & Go.

The notice staggered the layoff dates, across Aug. 6, Oct. 6, Dec. 1 and Jan. 2, with the last one on April 2, 2026.

The office housed about 250 employees, according to city documents, so 100 layoffs would be about 40% of it.

Maverik is based in Salt Lake City and was reported to be consolidating its headquarters there.

If you're wondering how much of the Des Moines office stays, a limited presence will remain.
