Green River Star -

Utah-based convenience store chain Maverik announced last week it will acquire the Kum & Go chain of convenience stores in a deal that also includes a tank truck carrier and logistics firm owned by Kum & Go’s parent company.

Maverik operates one convenience store in Sweetwater County located in Green River, while Kum & Go operates four locations in Rock Springs. Maverik’s purchase expands the company’s reach by more than 400 Kum & Go locations in 13 states. Once the sale is complete, Maverik will double in size and will operate more than 800 convenience stores in 20 states.
