Alimentation Couche-Tard

Alimentation Couche-Tard is a Canadian multinational convenience store operator known for its extensive network of stores, including the Circle K brand. Founded in 1980, the company has grown to become one of the largest convenience store chains in North America and has expanded its operations internationally. Recently, Couche-Tard made headlines for withdrawing its $47 billion bid to acquire Japan's Seven & i Holdings, the parent company of 7-Eleven, citing a lack of constructive engagement from the Japanese retailer.
