Two neighbors sit well above the rest in Kum & Go's top 10: Hy-Vee at 0.93 and Midwest vs. Everybody at 0.93, forming a two-peak structure that defines the audience's character — one peak anchored in Midwestern retail, the other in regional identity and humor.
The shape is two-peak, and the gap between those two leaders and the rest of the top 10 is meaningful. Culver's Restaurants (0.90) and Kwik Trip (0.89) follow closely, with Jordy Nelson (0.89) and the Kansas City Royals (0.87) rounding out the upper tier. Tallying the subcategories across all 10 neighbors reveals a cross-kind pattern: only two neighbors — Kwik Trip and Casey's (0.85) — share Kum & Go's own Convenience subcategory. The remaining eight span Grocery and Superstores, Humor Memes and Satire, Food, Athletes, Sports Teams, and TV Channels. The Big Ten Network (0.87) and Shawn Johnson East (0.86) extend the sports-and-Midwest thread, while Faux Pelini (0.86) reinforces the regional humor cluster alongside Midwest vs. Everybody.
The two-peak structure — regional retail on one side, Midwestern identity content on the other — suggests this audience is defined less by the convenience store category itself than by a strong geographic and cultural orientation.
