Does a middle school student do their marketing?
I guess I'll continue to not go there ever and maybe even keep forgetting they exist.
iirc the kum and go founders are huge hawks
I'll take "How To Get Fired" for $500 Alex.
I mean middle school aged people named it. How else would you name something "Kum and Go".
Too bad the Kirkwood student intern that fired off that tweet is going to lose his job.
Ejaculate and Evacuate is what we always called it.
How childish and moronic from a marketing perspective. Doesn't matter Casey's is 100 times better anyways.
Whelp, guess I won't be going to Kum and Go ever again.
Wow. I used to frequent their establishment anytime I could because it was an Iowa based company. Looks like that's about to change.
Also, as a business owner, why would you alienate (close to) half the population of the state?

Taking a jab at ~1/2 of your customer base seems like a smart business move.
I'm never going there again.
I'm guessing someone may be losing their job....or at least their access to company twitter account. Their HQ is downtown Des Moines....so forgetting customer reaction, 'm pretty confident in suggesting a min 50% of their staff are Iowa State grads...probably more.

Extremely poor taste. The Krause family is one of the biggest IOWA donors. It’s weird to me that they would invest time in trolling the ISU fan base, especially when they are in 11 or 12 states, most of which don’t care one iota about this game. We have Kum and Go’s in Colorado and no one here except the Iowa transplants would even understand that tweet. Very immature.
I'm only going there again to poop and not flush. That will show those bastards.
Yup - learned that one from my son. Similar era; the common term for the futon "mattress" that folded up into a "chair" was a "flip & ****".
Ah, the joys of raising boys...
