20 COUNTRIES. SAY GOODBYE TO COME AND GO AND SAY HELLO TO MAVERICK, THE FIRST CENTRAL IOWA MAVERICK STORE REBRANDED FROM COME AND GO, OPEN TODAY IN ADAIR. ����vlog SENIOR REPORTER TODD MAGEL SHOWS US HOW THE CHANGE WORKS. WE’RE NEXT TO I-80 HERE IN ADAIR. THIS IS THE NEW MAVERICK STORE. EVEN THOUGH THE SIGNS SAY COME AND GO, IT IS GOING TO BE WEIRD BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I’M ALWAYS LIKE, HEY, YOU WANT TO COME AND GO? YOU WANT TO WAIT? HOLD ON. IT’S GOING TO BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. BRIDGET WIEDRICH HAS WORKED AT THE CHUCK WAGON RESTAURANT IN ADAIR FOR YEARS, AND SAYS IT MAY BE HARD TO REMEMBER. IT’S NOT A COME AND GO NEXT DOOR ANYMORE. IT’S A MAVERICK. WELL, IT’S EXTREMELY WEIRD AS IT’S BEEN COME AND GO FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. MY MOM HAS OWNED THIS PLACE FOR 50 YEARS NOW. CARBON CARROLLTON IS ALSO WONDERING ABOUT THE CHANGE. SHE RUNS THE DAIRY SUITE BEHIND THE NEW MAVERICK. IT’S BEEN COME AND GO FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, SO IT’S JUST GOING TO BE A VERY BIG CHANGE. I THINK LOCALLY FOR EVERYBODY. MAVERICK CREWS SPENT THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS REBRANDING THE STORE AND ITS COMPUTER SYSTEMS. MAVERICK BOUGHT COME AND GO BACK IN 2023, AND IT’S TAKEN A WHILE TO RENAME 90 STORES ACROSS IOWA SINCE THEN. SO FAR, THE ONLY OUTSIDE MAVERICK SIGNS ARE ON THE GAS PUMPS. THEY SAY IT WILL BE A COUPLE OF MONTHS BEFORE THE LARGE COME AND GO SIGNS ARE REPLACED. LONGTIME CUSTOMERS ARE CURIOUS ABOUT THE CHANGE. NEVER HEARD OF THE MAVERICKS BEFORE. I WENT TO THE COME AND GO HERE, YOU KNOW, ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, MAYBE, DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF YEAR. AND JUST INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER COMPARED TO COME AND GO. THE NEW ADAIR MAVERICK HELD A SOFT OPENING WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, AND CUSTOMERS GOT THEIR FIRST LOOK AT THE NEW STORE. AND NO SURPRISE, IT LOOKS A LOT LIKE A TYPICAL CONVENIENCE STORE. I MEAN, I THINK IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE TIME, BUT SHOULDN’T BE A PROBLEM. YOU GET USED TO IT, YOU’LL GET USED TO IT. YEAH. THE NEXT STOP FOR MAVERICK IS WALNUT, IOWA, WHERE THEY WILL OPEN THEIR NEW STORE LATER THIS WEEK. IN ADAIR TODD MAGEL ����vlog EIGHT NEWS. IOWA’S NEWS LEADER.
