Kum & Go
Kum & Go is a convenience store chain primarily located in the Midwestern United States. The company, based in West Des Moines, Iowa, operates over 400 stores in 11 states—primarily in its home state of Iowa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kumandgo.com/about-kum-and-go.cfm )〕 Kum & Go was ranked as the 23rd-largest convenience store chain in the United States by ''Convenience Store News'' in 2010.
==Background==
The chain was founded by William A. Krause and Tony S. Gentle, who founded the Hampton Oil Company in Hampton, Iowa, in 1959. Hampton Oil eventually became the Krause Gentle Corporation, which is Kum & Go's parent company. In 1963, Krause Gentle introduced the company's first convenience stores, selling both fuel and merchandise items, in which they changed their gas station into a "station store".
The Kum & Go name was adopted in 1975〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kum & Go - Trademark by Kum & Go, L.C. )〕 to unify the company's array of stores under a single brand. It was a play on the phrase "come and go" using the initials of founders Krause and Gentle. Sales of Kum & Go-branded merchandise increased after Johnny Knoxville was seen wearing a Kum & Go T-shirt during a scene in the 2006 movie ''Jackass Number Two''.
