Alimentation Couche-Tard has a new head of quick-service restaurant (QSR) and made-to-order foodservice for its U.S. Circle K business. 

The company confirmed with CSP on Tuesday that Grant Morris will be filling this role. 

Morris announced his promotion on Sunday via his LinkedIn page. He said that for the last 19 months, he’s been serving as the interim head of North America foodservice support.  

“As we continue to evolve and elevate our food program, I’m energized by the opportunity to help drive innovation, strengthen our offerings and deliver even greater value to our customers,” he said. 

  • Alimentation Couche-Tard is No. 2 on CSP’s 2026 Top 40 update to the 2025 Top 202 ranking of U.S. c-store chains by store count. Watch for the full 2026 Top 202 ranking in June.
