Kum & Go Opens New Store in Greeley, Colo.

3,400-square-foot store offers customers quality products, superior service

(West Des Moines, Iowa — March 6, 2008)  Kum & Go, L.C., one of the nation’s leading convenience store chains, is proud to announce that its new store in Greeley, Colo., is open for business. The 3,400-square-foot store is located at 7027 20^th St. and is a part of the new Cedarwoods retail center.

“We are thrilled to offer another Kum & Go location for the residents of Greeley and surrounding areas,” said Kyle Krause, Kum & Go president and CEO. “Kum & Go provides superior service on top of offering a large selection of quality products. We are excited to build new relationships with businesses and patrons within the community.”

The new store features 16 fueling stations, offering unleaded, super unleaded, premium, diesel and E85 fuels. E85 is an alternative motor fuel mixture of about 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. It is an environmental-friendly fuel that can only be used in flex-fuel vehicles with engines modified to accept higher concentrations of ethanol. Kum & Go has offered E85 since 1997 and currently offers E85 at 27 of its stores located across 12 states.

In addition to offering quality gasoline, Kum & Go stores feature a wide selection of food and beverage products, including Java Ridge Premium Coffee, Napa Creek and Sea Ridge wines and Go Fresh Market Sandwiches. The Iowa-based company also offers potato chips, bottled water, cookies and candy under the well-known Hiland brand name in its stores.

As part of Kum & Go’s commitment to developing environmental-friendly building and operating practices, the new Greeley store integrates heavily insulated glass, LED cooler door lights and energy-efficient coolers into its energy-efficient design.

This is the third Kum & Go location in the Greeley area, adding to the first Greeley location that opened in 2006 and the Evans location that opened last year. It is the 26^th store in the state of Colorado. Kum & Go plans to continue its growth in Colorado with eight new stores scheduled to open throughout the year.
