#kum and go

[schagadelic]

I think it's so funny that the rest of America is learning about the staple Midwest gas station franchise, Kum, and Go. I've become so numb to the name that I forgot how really funny it is. Thank you, America 🙏

Since Kum & Go is being rebranded into Maverick, I vote that we start using Maverick as a euphemism. Don’t let them get away from their legacy.

The homophone in question is believed to have been used as slang as far back as the 1590s according to Online Etymology Dictionary, if not earlier. Since opening its first store, Kum & Go was always at risk of being interpreted that way. But customers clearly read it as meaning a place for a quick stop, and its name readily conveys that it’s a convenience store. Maverik on the other hand sounds like a place to buy unlicensed Tom Cruise merch. The decision to sacrifice the former for the latter strikes as a misguided marketing move. It’s like Buc-ee’s changing its name because of a 21st-century slang word.

In the end, management’s squeamishness could hurt the brand rather than help it. But we’ll all know for certain when Maverik is rolled out across the company’s locations, and ventures into territories beyond.
