RE:RE:RE:RE:Mac's is a subsidiary of Alimentation Couche-Tard,Yup I agree what Becker wants for their stores is peanuts for a large corporation like Couche-Tarde. I know 711 is also expanding stores across Canada and the US. I am not sure why Becker has not approached 711 as a potential buyer but then again maybe they have for all I know. It looks like the negotiation with Couche-Tarde has not got to the lawyer level yet. Couche-Tarde must also be aware that if Becker is sold they might be in a more difficult negotiation with another player. Anyway the dividends continue to roll in. Cheers Charlie.
