Honestly I don't know that I even buy this logic
Kum & Go is pretty well known even outside its footprint because of its meme-level status. Seems like maybe they're in their bubble in Utah a bit.

some exec probably thinks its a gross pun and riding their high horse to get rid of it.
Did you not read the sign? It says Kum & GO, not Kum & Loiter.
Are there still Pump-n-Munches in Minneapolis? There used to be a few in Rochester 20ish years ago but I haven't seen one in decades. I still have the jingle seared into my brain.
Iowan's are stupid loyal. If they have a choice now between Casey's, Kwik Star, or Maverick they will choose to not go to Maverick 9 times out of 10.
Screw that. Kwik Star is Da Bomb!!
I'm in KC area now so I don't have first-hand knowledge...according to the google machine, yes, there are still ~5 in operation.
At least a couple new Kwik Stars in process. One on Hickman in Waukee east of Stivers and then one on *Merle Hay* in Johnston near ChildServe.

I've heard that Casey's breaking the handshake agreement with Kwik Star (each to stay out of the others home State) is what pushed Kwik Star into Iowa moving NE to SW. Do you ever notice how just about every Kwik Star is within a block of a Casey's. Seems intentional...
I mean, some of that is zoning, and if there is already a gas station there, there is a good volume of car traffic already.
100% I have no factual info to back up what I have said. Just things I have heard/noticed.
I stopped at a Maverick in Colorado on my way back from Estes last summer. Their chorizo breakfast burrito is bomb and that place was cleaner than any gas station I've ever been in.
