Shares of Canadian convenience store operator and consolidator Alimentation Couche-Tard ( TSX:ATD ) have been dragging recently. Sure, the company is going after 7-Eleven's parent company (7 & i Holdings), and it'll likely have to up its offer to get a deal done. Though I have no idea what the final price will be, I think that management is keen on landing a friendly deal, one that entails massive value creation for the long-term shareholders of Couche-Tard.
