There are some Tim Horton's around here, too, Jacob. I'd never heard of them until a few years ago. (Remember, I live in a really small town. lol) Well, my Pastor teaches a couple of days a week over at a college, and he'd always mention stopping at "Tim Horton's" every morning - at like 5 in the morning - for a cup of coffee. . . . . . So, he mentioned again that he'd stopped at Tim Horton's for coffee, and I made the comment "Wow.........THAT'S a good friend, to let you stop over for coffee at THAT time of the morning". :Hahaha: I still haven't lived that one down.

:Hahaha: Savannah With you around Never a Dull Moment
The Story of Tim Hortons
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 stores 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.

But as consumer tastes grew, so did the choices at Tim Hortons. The biggest change in the chain’s product focus took place in 1976 with the introduction of the phenomenally successful Timbit (bite-sized donut hole), today available in over 35 different varieties. The chain’s growth into the 1980’s brought about a whole series of new product introductions: muffins (1981), cakes (1981), pies (1982), croissants (1983), cookies (1984), and soups & chili (1985). Sandwiches, which were originally introduced in 1993, were re-introduced as a new and improved line-up of 6 varieties, called “Tim’s Own”, in 1998. Also, in the 1990’s, bagels (1996), flavored cappuccino (1997), Café Mocha (1999) and Iced Cappuccino (1999) were introduced. In 2003, the Turkey Bacon Club sandwich and Maple Pecan Danish were successful menu additions. In 2005 Tim Hortons introduced, Yogurt & Berries, Cinnamon Roll and Hot Smoothee to the menu. Many new great products were added to the menu in 2006 such as the Chicken Salad Wrap and the hot Breakfast Sandwich (eggs, sausage or bacon, processed cheese on a toasted homestyle biscuit).

The chain’s biggest drawing card remains its legendary Tim Hortons coffee. The special blend is also available in cans, as are Tim Hortons hot chocolate and English Toffee and French Vanilla cappuccinos, so customers can also enjoy these great tasting products at home.

In addition to our regular stand alone stores, Tim Hortons locations can also be found in shopping malls, highway outlets, universities and hospitals, providing prominent visibility for the chain. Most standard Tim Hortons locations offer 24-hour drive-thru service, catering to consumers on the go. Combo unit locations, which house both a Tim Hortons and Wendy’s, offer customers the convenience of both restaurants under one roof.

In 1995, Tim Hortons merged with Wendy’s International, Inc., giving new focus and impetus to the expansion of the Tim Hortons concept in the United States. Tim Hortons locations can presently be found in Michigan, Maine, Connecticut, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New York, with responsible expansion continuing in these core markets. The Canadian operation is 95% franchise owned and operated, and plans in the U.S. call for the same key strategy to be implemented as expansion progresses. Currently, there are more than 2,750 stores across Canada, and over 350 locations in the United States.

In March 2006, Tim Hortons completed an initial public offering of the company and was fully spun off as a separate company as of September 29, 2006. Tim Hortons trades on the NYSE and TSX (THI).

2006 - Tim Hortons goes public

I have 3 Tim Horton's within a two mile radius of our house. They're everywhere in my part of Michigan.

Lately, my thing has been the English Toffee cappucino. I do like the French Vanilla as well. That used to be the one I would always get. In warmer months, I enjoy the iced cappucino. The original version.

Wow, we don't have any up here. We don't even have Starbucks!

We have a couple of Starbucks in the area too, then the Coffee Beanery, and also Bigby's Coffee. We're a bunch of coffeeaholics around here.

Cool I had English Toffee once it was Pretty Good by the End of the Cup I LOVED IT But i never had it again i don't know why not We have Two Tim Hortons here Near us at Least one is in our City and the other one is 15 Mins off in a Small Town

I haven't seen a Tim Hortons here in California...

Sounds like a nice place...

Tim Horton's are only in the states that border Canada and a few in Kentucky.
Yes, I work at Tim Horton's and I wouldn't drink any other brand. I guess I'm spoiled.
Jacob, do you work there too? It is a good job, I like to serve the people.

No Marilyn I Don't Work there But it does't look like a Bad Job But You Might be abel to Help Me What's there Secret for the French Vanilla ? We have the French Vanilla Mix But it does't taste the Same oh if you are wondering no i don't expect that you will tell me lol

we have tons here!

Jacob, I guess the machine at the store gives the right amount of water with the powder. It never tastes as good at home as it does at Tim's. The same can be said for the coffee. The water has been treated so that might be another reason why it's just sooo good when you buy it.

We just got one a couple months ago Rob. Before that I'd never even heard of it before!

Pam, I'm going to have to try that English Toffee coffee...sounds delicious! I still haven't visited our new one...it's kind of out of the way for me.

It is pretty tasty. I like the mocha too, but I tend to stay away from it because of the whipped cream and the chocolate syrup. Too much of a good thing, lol.
