Couche-Tard closes $1.6B GetGo acquisition
This story was originally published on C-Store Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily C-Store Dive newsletter. Alimentation Couche-Tard has closed its $1.6 billion acquisition of GetGo Café + Markets, the convenience store arm of supermarket chain Giant Eagle, according to a joint announcement from both companies on Monday. Couche-Tard, the second-largest c-store chain in the U.S. with over 7,000 convenience stores across the country, is adding 270 more locations to its network in the deal. GetGo's stores are scattered across Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland and Indiana. As outlined last week when Couche-Tard sold 35 locations to Majors Management in order to meet the Federal Trade Commission's requirements to close the deal, GetGo will operate as a separate business unit led by Vice President of Operations Mike Maraldo. Couche-Tard will also continue operating GetGo's popular myPerks loyalty program, which it shares with Giant Eagle. 'GetGo has earned a passionate following in the communities it serves thanks to an amazing team delivering a best-in-class food offer, in-store experience and loyalty program,' Alex Miller, president and CEO of Couche-Tard, said in Monday's release. 'We look forward to investing in the brand, empowering its continued success, and collaborating closely with Giant Eagle to create even more value for the customers we serve together.' For Giant Eagle, selling GetGo is an opportunity for the supermarket chain to focus more on growing its grocery and pharmacy businesses, according to the announcement. Giant Eagle CEO Bill Artman called the deal 'an important moment' in the company's history. 'It is both a catalyst for investment into the communities we have served for more than 90 years and an assurance that one of the most valuable savings opportunities we provide to customers — our myPerks loyalty program — will remain with earning and redemption options at both Giant Eagle and GetGo,' Artman said. Couche-Tard's leadership has openly touted GetGo's foodservice capabilities as the driving force of the acquisition, and the Canadian retailer said on Monday that it plans to 'announce a series of initiatives aimed at expanding the offerings and value it delivers across the communities it serves' in the coming months. As of this month, Couche-Tard's proprietary Fresh Food, Fast program was available in nearly 6,200 Circle K c-stores globally. Its items include hot sandwiches and burgers, cold deli subs and wraps, pizza, hot snacks, baked goods and roller-grill dogs. Meanwhile, GetGo's menu features a variety of made-to-order wraps, sandwiches, salads and burgers, as well as chicken tenders and wings, burritos and even plant-based protein options. The company has also been at the forefront of adding drive-thrus to its convenience stores in recent years. Besides selling GetGo, Giant Eagle also recently closed on the sale of its wholesale motor fuels distribution business to Cary Oil, according to Monday's announcement.

3 Big Numbers: Couche-Tard's foodservice journey
This story was originally published on C-Store Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily C-Store Dive newsletter. 3 Big Numbers is a weekly column that looks at a few key details from around the c-store industry. When Alimentation Couche-Tard reported its fiscal fourth quarter earnings on Thursday, observers were listening for any status updates on the company's bid for Seven & i Holdings, the parent of 7-Eleven and the largest convenience retailer in the world. The news on that front was lackluster, though it seems we might at least get a timeline before long. However, President and CEO Alex Miller also took some time during the company's latest earnings call to break down the growth in Couche-Tard's Fresh Food, Fast program, which has now been added to nearly 6,200 stores globally. In this week's '3 Big Numbers,' we look at what Couche-Tard's earnings tell us about its foodservice ambitions. Couche-Tard's U.S. service and merchandise gross margin in Q4. Couche-Tard reported U.S. service and merchandise gross margins of 33.9% for the fourth quarter. That's not bad, but why start here for a column about foodservice? Because it could have been worse if not for growth in Couche-Tard's fresh food sales. While the earnings report didn't break out exact contributions, it noted that 'improved food execution was offset by higher spoilage on tobacco products.' Although they didn't share specifics about food's contribution to the bottom line, Couche-Tard clearly is optimistic about the program. 'We are early innings, but I am extraordinarily pleased about the direction' of the food program, Miller said during the call. The increase in meal deals sold in the U.S. quarter over quarter. As part of expanding its Fresh Food, Fast program, Couche-Tard has also been making sure the program is affordable for price-conscious consumers. One major pillar of that plan is meal deals. Circle K unveiled an array of specials last year — $3 for either a roller grill hot dog or Taquito with a 2-ounce bag of Frito-Lay chips and a Pepsi; $4 for a sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich with a hash brown and either a Monster energy drink or coffee; and $5 for two slices of pizza and a 20-ounce Pepsi. How has it been going? In its fiscal fourth quarter, the company sold more than 500,000 of these meals per week in the U.S. That's an increase of 35% over the previous quarter, Miller said during Thursday's earnings call. That result is all the more remarkable when you consider that Couche-Tard's U.S. same-store sales were actually down slightly on the quarter. The approximate number of weekly meal deals sold in North America so far in Q1. Half a million meal deals sold per week represents strong growth for Couche-Tard in this key area. But can the company keep that momentum up? So far, so good. While we obviously don't have the full first-quarter results just yet, Miller said that North American stores have seen around 800,000 meal deal sales per week so far in the new quarter. It's hard to say if growth in the U.S. is continuing, since that figure includes both Canadian and U.S. stores. But at the very least, it shows that demand continues to be strong for these value offerings.
