WEST DES MOINES, Iowa -- Kum & Go LC said that its new convenience store in Brighton, Colo., will open for business today. The 3,400-square-foot store took just over five months to construct, the company said. The new store features 12 conventional fueling stations, offering unleaded, unleaded plus, premium and diesel fuels.

In addition to offering quality gasoline, Kum & Go stores feature a variety of food and beverage products, including Java Ridge Premium Coffee, Go Fresh Market Sandwiches, Nuclear energy drinks and Nutri2o nutraceutical waters. The stores also offer potato [image-nocss] chips, bottled water, cookies and candy under the Hiland brand name.

This is the first location in the Brighton area and the 27th store in the state of Colorado, including a location in Greeley that opened earlier this year. Kum & Go plans to continue its growth in Colorado with seven new stores—another in Brighton and one each in Loveland, Conifer, Mead, Greeley, Granby and Debeque—all scheduled to open later this year. Kum & Go is also in the process of rebuilding two of its stores in Craig, Colo.

As part of Kum & Go 's commitment to developing environmentally friendly building and operating practices, the new Brighton store integrates heavily insulated glass, LED cooler door lights and energy-efficient coolers into its energy-efficient design.
