“Love the ability to use the Earnify app and turn on pump from car. Limits time needed outside especially in Iowa winters to fuel up. They also have Premium. And staff is always friendly and helpful inside as well.”

“Nice Kum & Go here in Ames, IA off I-35 Exit 113. The store is quite different on the inside when compared to the others that look like this style in the fountain/coffee area is right next to the kitchen like a Casey’s. Normally, the fountain is just on the right side of the store and the kitchen is on the middle at the newer stores. I got a 44oz fountain drink, 2 slices of sausage pizza, & some Trident Gum (Spearment). The total with tax came to 9.39. The cashier was very nice and friendly. The store was very clean & organized. Keep up the great work, Kum & Go 1113!-Shy_Gun670”
