Commenting on the move, Bouchard emphasised Hannasch’s experience within the Couche-Tard organisation. “He has been intimately involved in developing our strategy, improving our business and he has played a pivotal role in the material acquisitions we made over the last thirteen years, including our largest and most recent, Statoil Fuel & Retail in Europe,” Bouchard said.
Réal Plourde, chairman of Couche-Tard’s board, said Bouchard will continue to “play an active role” in Couche-Tard’s development.
The responsibilities of chief operating officer will be shared by Couche-Tard’s executive management team.
