        Your honor I didn’t mean that! I was just trying to fill up some kids mouths and bellies… Wait… Nooo! Damnit, not like that!

      I went to Colorado Springs a little while ago and had to do a double take when I saw that a gas station was advertising that as its name. Absolutely blew my mind when I realized it is a huge chain there.

          Oh not even close. Maverick is a little cleaner but have nowhere as much stuff and their food, while having more selection, is garbage.

            I’m probably biased because I worked in Utah long before they ever came to Colorado and I’ve been to most of their “flagship” stores. If there’s a choice I’ll pick Maverick every time.

            Also, I was pretty sure I was going to be jumped by a mob because I wore a K&G hat to a restaurant in OCC in the early-mid 2000s. The anti-Kum&Go sentiment was insane back then.

              Jeez, people will tribalize anything. Yeah the Mavericks around here are big but all the shelves are way spaced out and at angles so it fills the room but there’s just not much there. My ex worked at one for a bit preparing food and it was just terrible. I used to Door dash and I would stop at K&G multiple times a day and sometimes get food and it was always pretty good for gas station food. That said, Maverick bought K&G not long ago so they might all be Mavericks before too long.

      People who name gas stations are different from you and I. There’s one in L’Anse Michigan called Dick’s Pump and Munch
