LEED-certified store focuses on sustainability, fresh food and a wide array of product options.

Kum & Go has opened a new Kum & Go store in Conway, Ark. at 2050 Dave Ward Drive. This is the first Kum & Go store in Conway and the 39th store in Arkansas.

In the nearly 5,000-square-foot store, customers will find a large product selection, a customer-focused staff and a Go Fresh Market offering fresh, made-to-order pizzas, as well as breakfast and deli sandwiches, and baked goods—all made fresh daily in Kum & Go’s on-site kitchen. Outside, a larger number of fueling positions, as well more variety in fuel offerings, give customers more choices and value at the pump.

“We’re excited to open Kum & Go’s first store in Conway,” said President and CEO Kyle Krause. “This store has been designed with our customers in mind. From fresh food options to a wide selection in products, all aspects of our stores have been configured to focus on delivering fast, friendly customer service.”

Another distinguishing feature of Kum & Go’s new store design is the strong emphasis on sustainability. Kum & Go designs and constructs stores with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification in mind. Each store is submitted under these rigorous guidelines to become LEED certified.

As a LEED-certified convenience store, this new Kum & Go includes Solatube skylights, LED lighting both inside and outside the store, low-flow water efficient fixtures and high energy-efficiency equipment. The store was built using many recyclable and locally-sourced materials.

“We’re passionate about the communities we serve. We demonstrate that passion first by bringing an eco-friendly store,” said Krause. “And, second, by giving back. We donate 10% of our profits to educational and charitable causes every year.”
