Where We Operate

Alimentation Couche-Tard is the leader in the convenience store industry and road transportation fuel retail in Canada, with a network of close to 2,100 stores from the Maritimes to Western Canada. This market is divided into four geographic business units. In its home province of Québec, the company operates under its flagship Couche-Tard brand, while the global Circle K brand is present in the other provinces.

Alimentation Couche-Tard has close to 7,100 stores in the United States which are located in 47 states.  The U.S. market is divided into 14 geographic business units. Most of the stores are operated under the global Circle K brand, although a number of stores still operate under the Holiday banner in the Northern Tier business unit. Circle K is the largest independent convenience store operator in the U.S. in terms of the number of company-operated stores.

In Europe, Alimentation Couche-Tard operates a network of more than 2,700 full-service (convenience and fuel) and automated (fuel only) stations. The full-service stations are operated under the Circle K banner in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and on the island of Ireland. The automated sites operate under the INGO banner in Sweden and Denmark. Alimentation Couche-Tard is also a wholesaler of transportation fuel and runs a large commercial fuels operation, including terminals and depots. In 2020,  the company proudly expanded into the growing Asian market with the purchase of Circle K Hong Kong of more than 340 convenience locations.
