In the heart of Joplin, Missouri, a gas station named Kum and Go transformed into much more than a place to refuel. It became our haven during college years, fostering camaraderie in late-night studies and impromptu celebrations. As graduation approached, its impact resonated—shaping our growth and leaving an indelible mark on our hearts. This is not just a story of sentimentality; it's about the extraordinary significance hidden in seemingly ordinary places.

However, recent developments threaten this legacy as there are plans to change the name of these stations. We believe that changing the name would erase an integral part of our shared history and community spirit.

Kum and Go has over 400 stores across 11 states (source: Kum & Go official website), each one potentially carrying stories similar to ours. These stations are not just businesses; they are community landmarks that hold memories for countless individuals.

We urge the management of Kum & Go to reconsider their decision about renaming their locations. By doing so, they will honor the unique role these establishments play in local communities across America.

Please sign this petition if you agree that all Kum & Go locations should retain their original name - because sometimes it's more than just a gas station; it's a piece of home.
