New store focuses on fresh food, expanded product options and sustainability.
Kum & Go, L.C. has announced the opening of a new Kum & Go store today in Colorado Springs, at 620 E. Fillmore St.
The new store brings Kum & Go’s presence to nine stores in Colorado Springs and to 49 stores throughout Colorado.
The nearly 5,000-square-foot store introduces many new features both inside and outside the buildings. Inside, customers will find a larger product selection, a center checkout area with customer-focused staff, and an expanded Go Fresh Market offering fresh, made-to-order pizzas, as well as breakfast and deli sandwiches, and baked goods—all made fresh daily at 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 bring our newest store design to Colorado Springs,” said president and CEO, Kyle Krause. “This store layout 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 the stores with LEED certification in mind. Each store is submitted under these rigorous guidelines to become LEED certified. Sustainable features of this new Kum & Go store includes Solatube skylights, LED lighting both inside and outside the store, low-flow water efficient fixtures, and high energy-efficiency equipment. Each store is built using recyclable materials 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.”
