Fire & Flower Holdings Inc. has unveiled the first examples of its new cannabis retail partnership with the owner of Circle K convenience stores and gasoline bars.

Alimentation Couche-Tard says shopping patterns have changed during COVID-19 lockdowns with consumers purchasing larger-sized goods.

Couche-Tard CEO Brian Hannasch described the C$7.7B proposal as "a very compelling offer" for Caltex shareholders.

A Montreal police spokesperson said the man entered the Couche-Tard on Dollard Avenue near David-Boyer Street at around 5 a.m.

The Quebec multinational wants to be one of the ``key players'' in the North American cannabis market.

Couche-Tard has agreed to make a strategic investment in Edmonton's Fire & Flower, which will use the money to expand its cannabis stores and digital retail platform.

Londoners have until March 7 to file objections or a submission about the application through the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.

Reluctance from the company's own employees and broader uncertainty about the North American cannabis market are preventing it from charging into the blossoming sector.

Hundreds of Mac's Convenience Stores across Western Canada will be rebranded as Circle K by 2019, the Quebec-based parent company Alimentation Couche-Tard announced Thursday.

Quebec-based convenience store chain Couche-Tard has decided to voluntarily pull an alcoholic beverage from its shelves.
