Tim Hortons’ biggest drawing card is the legendary Tim Hortons coffee. To ensure the coffee is always fresh, Tim Hortons serves its coffee within 20 minutes of being brewed or it’s not served at all. The premium blend is also available in cans, as are Tim Hortons hot chocolate and flavored cappuccinos, allowing guests to enjoy these great tasting products at home.

Tim Hortons enjoys iconic brand status in Canada and a strong, emerging presence in select regional markets in the U.S.

History

Established in 2013.

The Tim Hortons chain was founded in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario. The chain’s focus on top quality, always fresh product, value, great service and community leadership has allowed it to grow into the largest quick service restaurant chain in Canada specializing in always fresh coffee, baked goods and homestyle lunches.

The first Tim Hortons restaurants offered only two products — coffee and donuts. The selection of donuts to enjoy was highlighted by two original Tim Hortons creations, the Apple Fritter and the Dutchie. They became the most popular donut choices in the 60’s, and remain two of the most popular today.
