Education
- Alain Bouchard cofounded convenience store conglomerate Alimentation Couche-Tard with a single Quebec shop in 1980.
- As executive chairman, Bouchard still oversees the $73 billion (sales) company, which boasts more than 17,000 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.
- Bouchard got his start stocking shelves at his brother's franchised Perrette store and, after climbing the ladder at two chains, struck out on his own.
