“Alimentation Couche-Tard”. What a silly name.

Total = French.
Circle K = French Canadian.

I thought Circle K was a cement company.

Anyways. It’s hardly a proper store stuck in a gas station.

The existing stores are "corporate stores", i.e. directly owned by Circle K and run by their employees.

I thought the same, but then again, it's French.

How can couche-tard that translate by “who goes to bed late” sillier than the English “night owl”?

Actually the logo of Couche-Tard is a winking owl... As in "night own" (since most convenience stores are 24h). Couche-Tard means "Go to bed late", or something to that effect. Circle K is/was an American chain started a long time ago in Texas I believe, but was purchased by Couche-Tard several years ago and a way to expand into various markets. Some of you guys seem to have trouble following events..

Wow. Some people are way too serious.
In English “tard” is slang for retard.
