Guest thetrendsetter Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 Curious if anyone could give me some info on this? What are the US Tim Horton's like compared to the Canadian East Coast ones...
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 They have these things in the States? Que?
Guest razazteca Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 what is this Tim Horton you speak of?
Guest starvenger Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 Curious if anyone could give me some info on this? What are the US Tim Horton's like compared to the Canadian East Coast ones... I've only seen Timmy Ho's in Detroit, and they're pretty much like the ones in Canada (Windsor, btw, seems to have a Tim Horton's on EVERY OTHER CORNER, not to mention in the duty free shops). Dunkin' Donuts is still much more prevalent there, but their coffee (and donuts) seriously bite. what is this Tim Horton you speak of? Tim Horton's is a very popular donut store chain up in Canada, started up by the late Tim Horton, a former member of the Toronto Maple Leafs. It's now owned by Wendy's and is actually responsible for Wendy's being the fastest growing fast food conglomerate over the past few years. Tim Horton's is known mostly for it's good coffee (they (allegedly) brew at least one fresh pot about every 20 minutes as a rule) and more recently it's iced "cappucino's", which are damn good. On a obscure movie note, the "Stan Mikita Donuts" featured in "Wayne's World" were based on Tim Horton's.
Guest nl5xsk1 Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 As far as I know, the only ones in the US are right near the Canada border ... I went on a hockey road trip a year ago, and everytime we passed one we commented on the chili bowl that they were hard-selling in EVERY advertisement. I swear, there's more Tim Hortons up there then there are Dunkin Donuts down here.
Guest starvenger Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 I swear, there's more Tim Hortons up there then there are Dunkin Donuts down here. There probably are, on a per capita basis. There's a joke that your town isn't on the map until you get a Tim Horton's. Hey, I never said it was a funny joke...
Guest treble charged Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 I think there are some Tim Horton's in upstate New York, too. As an example of how many of these places there are, I live in a city of about 21,000 people, and there are 4 full sized restaurants and another drive-thru-only one. You seriously cannot drive more than 3 or 4 minutes without finding one. It's insane. I don't drink coffee, so I can't tell you if there's is any better than anywhere else's coffee. Their donuts, muffins, hot chocolate, and anything else I've ever had from there has been good.
Guest Bricks Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 I think there are some down in Florida too because of the old Canadians who move down south for the winter.
Guest HungryJack Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 Tim Hortons owns all .... Mostly because the majority of them are open 24 hours, thus after a night of drinking , one can acquire mad donuts and sammiches. ROCK.
Guest Eagan469 Posted January 9, 2003 Report Posted January 9, 2003 Here in the Buffalo suburban area we have Timmy Ho's ALL OVER. Differences between here and across the border? Better selection, bigger stores. They have to compete with Krispy Kreme here for Christ sakes RRRrrrrrol up the rim to win!
Guest razazteca Posted January 9, 2003 Report Posted January 9, 2003 so are more Tim Hortons around town than Star Bucks? Amazing
Guest The Metal Maniac Posted January 9, 2003 Report Posted January 9, 2003 Ok, get this... I work at Wal-Mart. At the far end of the parking lot, there's a bus terminal by the right corner of the lot. There's a Tim's in there. On the far left corner, there's a full Tim's. Across the street is a shopping mall. There's a Tim's in there. Behind the Wal-Mart is another, really shitty mall that is more like 3 bookstores with a food court. There's a Tim's in there. The worst part is, all this property is owned by the SAME PERSON. You can tell how close you are to the East coast of Canada by counting the Tim's, I swear. I drink coffee from there rarely. It's too addictive.

It also reminds me of how Starbucks operates in the States. In the Galleria mall in Houston, there are 3 floors divided into 3 parts each (basically a 3x3 grid). There seems to be at least one Starbucks kiosk in EACH section. And then there is one in the Barnes and Noble across the street. Bloody scary...
Guest The Metal Maniac Posted January 9, 2003 Report Posted January 9, 2003 You don't mean Windsor, Nova Scotia, by any chance, do you?
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted January 9, 2003 Report Posted January 9, 2003 Oddly, as much as the Starbucks overbreeding is made fun of, there are hardly any around here in good ole Charleston, SC.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted January 9, 2003 Report Posted January 9, 2003 (Windsor, btw, seems to have a Tim Horton's on EVERY OTHER CORNER, not to mention in the duty free shops) I like to stop, at the duty-free shop.. I like to stop, at the duty-free shop. /Kramer We don't have many starbucks around here either, kotz. I think they hit the Mississippi river and get discouraged.
Guest El Satanico Posted January 9, 2003 Report Posted January 9, 2003 There are Tim Horton's all over Ohio. If you have Wendys in your area you'll have a Tim Hortons before long. Most of the new Wendys that are built are half Wendys and half Tim Hortons
Guest starvenger Posted January 9, 2003 Report Posted January 9, 2003 You don't mean Windsor, Nova Scotia, by any chance, do you? Nope. Windsor, Ontario. I've only been to Halifax and New Glasgow in Nova Scotia, about 12 years ago.
Guest The Metal Maniac Posted January 9, 2003 Report Posted January 9, 2003 Ah, ok. I was just curious, because there is a Windsor out here as well, and Tim Hortons are more common around here then people.
Guest lomasmoney Posted January 10, 2003 Report Posted January 10, 2003 The metro detroit area has a shitload of tim hortonsI can count at least 8 Tim Horton's within 15-20 minutes of my house. Hell i live 4 minutes from one
Guest razazteca Posted January 10, 2003 Report Posted January 10, 2003 the Dallas Grapevine Mills mall has 4 Starbucks in it. Also nearly every Barnes & Noble bookstore has one.
Guest redbaron51 Posted January 13, 2003 Report Posted January 13, 2003 Working at Tim Hortans for about 5 months, we do put a fresh pot on every 20-30 minutes (depends on the time) but usually though, a pot will last about 15 min. on average. Damn people in the XL Cup for 1.40 or something like that

And then there is one in the Barnes and Noble across the street. Bloody scary... And let's not forget the two Starbucks on the corner of Shepherd and West Gray. That's right kiddos, there are: a pair of Starbucks on... the same street... right across... from each other. Talk about ghey.

Hey, when you need a non-fat soy white mocha latte with extra foam and sweetener, you NEED a non-fat soy white mocha latte with extra foam and sweetener. Um, is there even such a thing? I just stick to (non-Starbucks) coffee...
Guest TheArchiteck Posted January 20, 2003 Report Posted January 20, 2003 The metro detroit area has a shitload of tim hortonsI can count at least 8 Tim Horton's within 15-20 minutes of my house. Hell i live 4 minutes from one Lot of Tim Hortons, but around me there are more starbucks.
Guest Ace309 Posted February 5, 2003 Report Posted February 5, 2003 In a little late, but I drive past no less than 2-3 Tim Hortons' on the way to class in Buffalo. Tim Horton did also play for the Sabres.
