Kum & Go, L.C. held a ribbon cutting March 1 to celebrate the opening of its newest store in Waukee. The 5,000-square-foot store, located at 400 Prairie Bluff Drive, offers a wide variety of fresh food, multiple fueling stations and has earned LEED certification.
“As a Waukee resident, I have personally witnessed how important this community has been to the success of Kum & Go,” said Kum & Go President and CEO Kyle Krause. “I am thankful for the great team of people who worked hard to make this happen. “
The new store was built to replace the original Kum & Go located across the interstate. The new location allowed Kum & Go to increase the square footage and provide customers with more features and selections, including expanded food and beverage options.
