Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. Company Profile
Alimentation Couche-Tard can gas up you and your car on both sides of the US-Canada border. It's the third-largest convenience store operator in North America and Canada's third-largest retailer with about 5,400 outlets: Couche-Tard in eastern Canada; Mac's in central and western Canada; and 3,100-plus Circle K shops in about 30 US states. It acquired the US's Circle K chain in 2003, the largest buy in its history. (About 80% of sales come from the US.) Alimentation Couche-Tard, French for "food for those who go to bed late," sells gas at about two-thirds of its stores. In Québec Couche-Tard owns the Dunkin' Donuts franchise and operates some 80 shops. In 2009 it acquired convenience stores from ExxonMobil.
