Little Rock, Arkansas (September 15, 2021)—Family-owned convenience retail chain Kum & Go is launching a new fresh food menu at stores in Little Rock and the surrounding metro area. Their aim is to significantly elevate convenience store food with a menu that’s more on par with fast casual restaurants. The new made-to-order food includes grain bowls, premium meat and vegetables layered on fresh baked bread, blended smoothies, cold brew frappés, and more.
“At Kum & Go, we’ve been listening to our customers who describe how difficult it is to find tasty, healthier foods while on the go. We were inspired to meet that need, offering better-than-fast food but faster-than-fast-casual food, and giving our customers a lot more choice,” said Kum & Go CEO Tanner Krause. “People want delicious, high-quality food that leaves them feeling great. Our new menu offers customers distinctive, freshly made options that stand out from the crowd.”
The made-fresh-for-you menu delivers delicious, flavorful food with the speedy, excellent service for which Kum & Go is known.
“Everything’s designed to go beyond what anyone would expect from a convenience store. We placed a lot of emphasis on great ingredients from braised meats to fresh toppings and added our own fresh perspective on how to eat healthier without sacrificing flavor and fun,” said Kum & Go Chief Marketing Officer Tracy Ging. “From a pulled pork bowl with mango salsa and crumbled Taki’s to a salsa verde chicken sandwich on freshly made bread, and even vegetarian options, people are going to find a lot more options to suit their tastes and cravings.”
The new menu launched at Kum & Go locations in the greater Little Rock area in August.
“Food has always been a key part of our business, yet we recognize people want and expect so much more. We’re in a perfect position to deliver that. We own and operate our kitchens, all of which have undergone a significant remodel. Not only do we have a great new food menu, we also have a huge beverage selection and interesting new snacks throughout the store,” said Kum & Go Interim Vice President of Food Stuart Taylor. “By embracing an ongoing process of innovation that includes the entire store, we see Kum & Go as a food destination.”
