The Kum & Go name is eventually being retired.

New York (CNN) — Kum & Go, the Midwestern gas station chain that gained national fame for the immature snickers its name often receives, is making a change.

Maverik, a rival chain that bought Kum & Go in 2023, announced that it’s in “process of rebranding Kum & Go stores, with the intent to unify our entire combined footprint under the Maverik brand,” marking an eventual end to the 49-year-old naughty name.

“While we’re committed to this vision, we are taking a thoughtful, market-by-market approach to ensure the best customer experience before confirming each state’s rebrand,” a Maverick spokesperson said in a statement to CNN. A specific timeline for when the Kum & Go name will be fully retired wasn’t revealed.

1. Life will not be the same!

I am bereft!

I am so proud to live within a mile of 3 Kim & Go gas stations.

Kim & Go is an institution. We need a Change.org petition to stop this from happening.

This world is changing too fast for me.

3. There are none of these stores in my part of the state but they are several in NW Arkansas.
