Kum & Go Mobile: App Innovation Brings Store to Your Phone
Kum & Go, the Des Moines-based convenience retailer, is launching mobile order on the Kum & Go app for use at all 400+ store locations. The technology and payment platform makes it even easier for customers to get the fresh food and quality items that Kum & Go is famous for.
“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 Kum & Go CEO Tanner Krause. “Order ahead and it will be ready for you in our store, or we will bring it out to you curbside or at the pump. At Kum & Go we will continue to make our customers’ lives more convenient, both today & tomorrow.”
The easy-to-use 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, 2021 will receive 25¢ off per gallon (up to 20 gallons) at their next fill up.
The location in Wylie, Texas, part of Auntie Anne’s commitment to move beyond traditional mall locations for greater brand accessibility, will feature elements of both brands, including design and menu boards. Jamba’s menu complements the pretzels and snacks offered at Auntie Anne’s.
“Consumer research shows that our guests want access to Auntie Anne’s outside of the mall. While we were already underway with identifying ways to enhance our brands’ accessibility, the study results confirmed our strategy to co-brand this location with Jamba,” says Brian Krause, chief development officer of Focus Brands.
