Just heard of some significant layoffs at the Maverik(former K&G) offices downtown, frustrating to see what is happening in the wake of the Krause's jumping ship.
Maverik lay-offs
- Thread starter J4C
- Start date
Unfortunately not surprising. Doesn’t take double the back office staff to run C-stores
When will the city of DM do hold Kyle accountable for staffing levels in his office building?
For all the tax abatement he received, I thought he had minimum employment levels for that building

Beautiful building too. Hopefully they just sell it to somebody.
Stuff like this is exactly why DSM should not give him one penny for the soccer stadium either.

Maverick didnt get the building in the purchase as ownership stayed with Krause Group. Maverick moved the employees to a different downtown space.
There are a LOT of “under the radar” mass layoffs over the past few months. (or done in monthly waves or creative wording to avoid the various notification requirements)
I've never been in a Maverik store, but did see some when we were in Colorado. Anyone know what the level of quality is? From the outside they look decent. I just remember many years ago when QuikTrips were sold and turned into something else in Cedar Rapids, can't remember the name, but they were awful. The QT quality which was always pretty good took a major nosedive.
So are these actually Mavrik layoffs or Krause Group? This thread is confusing.
As @CycloneDaddy pointed out, Mavrik does not office out of the Krause Gateway Center.

The newer locations in the mountain states tend to be very massive if that's what somebody likes. Like tons of pumps, overly high ceilings and walk in beer cooler rooms. But I've gone to some older ones that are just like any older Casey's too.
Maverik laid off like 90% of their Des Moines corporate employees today. Some of the remaining 10% are being asked to relocate to out of state.
It is kind of nice. I don't even drink beer that much any more but the ones I go to are in Utah and Nevada desert, usually hot as hell, so I'll just go in there and chill for a minute.
Can confirm. I live in Utah and all the newer Mavericks are super nice. But the older ones are just a generic looking gas station.
The newer stores are great. Some of their older stores (acquired stores) feel like "lipstick on a pig".
I've been traveling out west this summer and they are my preferred choice for c-store. I like that their bathrooms can be accessed from hallway on side of building. So can avoid pump/store front traffic. And don't feel so guilty if I don't pump/buy something.
Only complaint is their grind-to-make coffee is mouth-burning hot. Needs to sit about 30 minutes to be drinkable. The positive- it's still warm 2 hours later.
Based on the OP I’m assuming Maverick layoffs
There are only like 50 Krause Group employees left
So the ones here will be generic. They are remodeling the old K&G stores, not rebuilding.
Oh wow, that sucks. Didn't Mavrick also get incentives related to employees in Des Moines?
