In light of recent reports that Tim Hortons coffee is not actually made in Canada, it’s important to understand the company’s history and how it became one of the largest coffee retailers in the world.
Tim Hortons was founded in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario, by a Canadian hockey player named Tim Horton. At the time, the company was a small coffee shop that served donuts and coffee.
Horton quickly became a local celebrity and started to expand the business. In 1970, he opened the first Tim Hortons restaurant in Toronto.
Over the next few years, he opened restaurants in other Canadian cities and eventually around the world.
By the early 1990s, Tim Hortons was one of the largest coffee retailers in the world. In 1995, the company merged with Burger King, and Tim Hortons became the world’s third-largest fast food chain.
Today, Tim Hortons operates over 3,600 restaurants in over 30 countries. The company is still based in Ontario, and it remains one of the largest Canadian businesses.
While it’s true that Tim Hortons coffee is not actually made in Canada, the company’s history and global reach make it one of the most famous and popular coffee brands in the world.
