The Kum & Go name was adopted in 1975[5] to unify the company's array of stores under a single brand. It was a play on the phrase "come and go" using the initials of founders Krause and Gentle.

and btw, those stores are pretty decent..They aren't akin to EZ Mart sleeze. there are already a few up in North AR. They probably offer their employees decent benefits and more than min wage..

I hope they use American labor in construction..I also hope they hire American CITIZENS..Not the green card holders who send all their money back to their country and not invest it here..

Don't get much if any tax base out of part time minimum wage jobs

25 to 30 more stores to get held up and robbed. 25 to 30 more stores adding more thugs in the prison system. These are stores and jobs that will bring more violence to Arkansas and more debt to the taxpayers. Stores that none of the law makers that like growth will go into.

I find the name offensive. If they would have spelled it correctly, I probably wouldn't have thought twice. Really?

This is Great for Arkansas. There will no doubt be Construction jobs and no doubt money spent in Arkansas. Be nice if there were more jobs. Thanks to the company for choosing Arkansas. At least the money and business is in the USA.

I cannot comment on the name without getting blocked so I will focus my comment on another area. I hope these 20-25 new stores come with built-in shotguns to take out the bandana heads trying to rob them.
