About Me

Alain Bouchard cofounded convenience store conglomerate Alimentation Couche-Tard with a single Quebec shop in 1980. As executive chairman, Bouchard still oversees the $63 billion (sales) company, which boasts more than 14,000 owned or franchised stores worldwide. Bouchard, who grew the business rapidly by snatching up competitors, retired as president and CEO in September 2014. Couche-Tard acquired the Circle K chain in 2003 and the Holiday Stationstores and CST Brands chains in 2017. Couche-Tard made a $20 billion bid for French food retailer Carrefour in early 2021, but the French government nixed the deal.
