Revenge for the Freedom Fries

We knew those French would get their revenge for losing their appellation on those fried potato chips: today's Wall Street Journal reports that:

ConocoPhillips agreed to sell Circle K to Canadian convenience-store operator Alimentation Couche-Tard as part of its longstanding plan to focus on its wholesale business.

How can any self-respecting American head to someplace called Alimentation Couche-Tard for their late night snacks? Will Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure have to be redubbed to now have the line "Strange Things Are Afoot at the Alimentation Couche-Tard?"
