New Couche Tard comments
New Couche Tard commentsConvenience store giant Alimentation Couche-Tard wants to be one of the "key players" in the North American cannabis retail sector,
the company’s founder and executive chairman Alain Bouchard said following its annual meeting. The Canadian Press reports that Couche-Tard already has a sizable minority stake in cannabis retailer Fire & Flower as well as a partnership with Canadian cannabis giant Canopy Growth for that company’s privately run pot shops. It has also explored expanding its cannabis retail strategy to the U.S. in certain states where pot is legal, and has begun selling CBD products as well. One place the company won’t be selling cannabis in? Its home province of Quebec, where it is restricted by provincial rules governing the sale of marijuana.
