I'm never going there again then. And I buy a lot of overpriced donuts and coffee.
Kum & Go Tweet

They should've burned the Algona store to the ground and collected the insurance money.
Maybe. But as Messi said, the founders love black and gold. I have steadfastly avoided any Kum & Go stores for the years I have known their loyalty. There are plenty of Hok fans to make them richer.
I mean whatever but I’ve known several people that work at their corporate and mentioning “huge hok fan” has never hurt anyone’s chances in landing jobs. Even no Bachelors degree guy jumping over we’ll qualified with a degree guy.
Meh, I thought it was pretty clever (sh*tty stairs not withstanding). I hate Kum & Go as much as the next guy but their new corporate HQ is gonna be dope.
Kwik Star is the best, so glad they made it to Des Moines finally.
I know many people that work there or do business there. Unless you're very senior and have a nice office, the floating work station idea is horrible. Very cool concept, but for PMs and other staff, just not very practical.
Looks great though.
I don't care that much, but
(a) I generally don't go to Kum & Go anyhow, and
(b) I predict there will either be an apology tweet later or someone will get fired.

yeah....but they kinda pigeonholed themselves into what hours they are opened/closed....
Yeah, I'm not a fan. I currently have over a dozen active projects. Not having a desk I can count on would make that even tougher than it is.
Iowa basketball fans are really excited about getting their hands on a free slice or two...
Advertising to Hawk fans is fine. Being dicks to ISU fans in the process is what's uncalled for.
I will not apologize for this:
Kum & Go breakfast pizza is far superior to Casey's
Any company this is worth a darn, does this based on job role. Not carte blanche. If your "project work" can't be housed electronically (like so many things can nowdays), you'd be given a permanent desk by most companies that utilize this "neighborhood" approach.
For many companies utilizing this, it isn't all or nothing.
Yeah, I work with a couple of architectural and engineering firms that remodeled and went down this road. The top of the firms brag about what a great thing it is. When I work with the guys who actually get the work done it is at best "it really isn't that bad" to flat out "it is a terrible environment to get work done."
But this discussion has happened before so I won't derail this thread anymore on the topic.
Article after article say the open floor plan doesn't make employees happier or more productive
I totally enjoyed getting sensitive calls about employees I manage and then try to disguise the conversation as the employee is looking at me.
Interviews done on speaker phone are cool too.
