7-Eleven, operator of the eponymous convenience-store chain, is in talks to buy Casey’s General Stores, thwarting Alimentation Couche-Tard’s purchase attempts, said a person with knowledge of the matter.
7-Eleven offered $40 a share, trumping Couche- Tard’s $38.50 bid, said the person, who declined to be identified because the talks are in progress. Casey’s said Tuesday that it was in discussions with a third party that made a $40-a-share bid.
