Biography

Réal Plourde is a cofounder and board member of Alimentation Couche-Tard, the Canadian convenience store giant that owns the Circle K chain.

Couche-Tard does $73 billion in annual revenue across more than 17,000 stores.

Couche-Tard has ballooned by snatching up competitors, including Minnesota-based Holiday Stationstores for $1.6 billion in 2017.

Plourde held a number of roles at the business, including chief operating officer and manager of technical services. From 2011 to 2014, he was chairman.
