About Couche-Tard
Couche-Tard is a convenience store chain born in Laval in 1980 that grew into a global company. In Quebec, its depanneurs are part of daily life for snacks, coffee, gas and last-minute groceries, and it is the home of the Sloche, its famous slush drink.
A Sloche on a hot summer day is a Quebec childhood memory for many, and a fun thing to share with visitors. Couche-Tard is also where people grab milk on the way home or snacks before a road trip. Abroad, the company runs stores under the Circle K name, but its roots are firmly in Laval.
