Morgan as lead arranger, with National Bank of Canada Capital Markets and The Bank of Nova Scotia acting as joint bookrunners.For Couche-Tard, the acquisition will add an immediate, scaled platform in Central and Eastern Europe, preserving Żabka's management structure, highly recognised brand, entrepreneurial franchise model and local expertise.A global leader in convenience and mobility, Alimentation Couche-Tard operates in 27 countries and territories, with close to 17,300 stores. With its well-known Couche-Tard and Circle K banners, it is one of the largest independent convenience store operators in the US and is a leader in the convenience store industry and road transportation fuel retail in Canada, Scandinavia, the Baltics, Belgium, as well as in Ireland.“This is a transformational investment for Couche-Tard and an important milestone in our growth journey,” said Alex Miller, president and chief executive of Alimentation Couche-Tard. “Żabka has built one of Europe's most impressive convenience retail businesses, combining a powerful customer proposition with an entrepreneurial franchise model, a highly disciplined and proven operating platform, and a strong track record of growth.”Founded in 1998, based in Poznań, Poland, and listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange since October 2024, Żabka Group has grown from a Polish convenience-store network into one of Europe’s most innovative retail platforms – operating more than 13,000 convenience stores across Poland and Romania and servicing approximately 4.3 million average daily transactions.“Couche-Tard shares our commitment to innovation, convenience and customer-centricity and recognises the strength of the brand, the franchise community and the team that have made Żabka one of Europe’s leading convenience platforms,” said Tomasz Blicharski, chief strategy and development officer and chief executive designate of Żabka Group. Together, we will be even better positioned to accelerate growth, and invest in our people and capabilities.”The transaction – which is expected to be completed by the end of December 2026 – is unanimously supported by Żabka's key executive managers and shareholders, including CVC Capital Partners and Partners Group, that own, in aggregate, approximately 57 percent of Żabka's issued and outstanding shares.“We have tremendous respect for what the Żabka team and its franchisees have accomplished,” added Mr Miller. “Together, we will be well positioned to create lasting value for customers, franchisees, employees, business partners and shareholders.”News: Couche-Tard to buy Poland's Zabka for $8.7 billion in biggest-ever deal
