DES MOINES, Iowa — Kum & Go LC is launching mobile ordering on the Kum & Go app for use at all of its more than 400 convenience stores in 11 states.

“Kum & Go is committed to making our customers’ lives more convenient, and by bringing mobile ordering to our app, we are doing just that,” said Tanner Krause, CEO of the Des Moines, Iowa-based retailer. “At Kum & Go, we will continue to make our customers’ lives more convenient, both today and tomorrow.”

The interface allows for order and payment of a variety of Kum & Go staples including breakfast pizza, coffee, soda, beer and more. Customers can receive their ordered items car-side as they fill up or grab and go at the front of the store. Customers who make their first mobile order by June 30 will receive 25 cents off per gallon up to 20 gallons at their next fill up.

“This is a paradigm shift in the way we do business here at Kum & Go,” said Ryan Lindsley, vice president of digital technology. “We are excited to follow on the success of our Fuel Better innovation with mobile ordering. This is another chapter as we continue to elevate our digital customer experience at Kum & Go.”
