With approximately 15,000 stores worldwide—including more than 7,000 in the United States—Couche-Tard is one of the global leaders in convenience retail. In 2003, Couche-Tard acquired the Circle K corporation from the ConocoPhillips Company. This transaction significantly grew the company with the addition of 1,663 Circle K corporate stores in 16 states and another 627 with a franchising or licensing relationships either in the United States or overseas.
Today, Circle K is Couche-Tard’s dominant and most recognizable domestic brand. The 2017 acquisitions of Holiday Station Stores and CST Brands also added nearly 2,000 stores to the company’s portfolio.
Couche-Tard was Convenience Store Decisions’ 2007 Convenience Store Chain of the Year.
