ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Alimentation Couche-Tard, based in Laval, Canada, wants to become the world’s preferred destination for convenience and fuel, according to Brian Hannasch, president and CEO. And during “Visioning the Future,” a Spotlight Session in the recent NACS Crack the Code Experience, he explained how the global chain plans to achieve that goal.
Speaking with Henry Armour, president and CEO of NACS, Hannasch said that the future is already here; it’s just unevenly distributed.
“Last year in Asia, I saw artificial intelligence that lets you pay with your face, and they have incredible home delivery there,” he said. “Ten years ago in Vietnam, I saw bicycles everywhere, and now I see scooters. I go to Norway, which is a big market for us, and 60% of all vehicles sold are electric. Change is accelerating,” he said.
