Tim Horton's

[bucknekkid 0]

I think most people go to Tim Horton's for the coffee anyways not the doughnuts

Whatever the reason they may go to Timmy's, don't expect one to pop up at corner near you anytime soon.

Hmmm....I wonder how a Timmy's would fly down here in the South?

the furthest south they've gone so far is Ashland, Kentucky where there are 2 stores.

I think they're concerned about getting further south, specifically North Carolina because that's Krispy Kreme land, (owned and operated out of Winston-Salem, NC). But now that KK isn't doing so well financially, maybe Timmy's could move in and take over

Regardless of Krispy Kremes financial position, they will not sink...And no way does the quality of Timmy's donuts(fresh frozen) come close to KK's(fresh), there is no competition there at all. Timmy's intends to double the number of stores in the States within the next three years, giving them eventually 500 stores total. I see most of these stores being Northern states where they will be competing with already established Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. The market in Canada is already saturated, so not much growth potential there either. Tim Horton's is a Canadian icon, and it is highly unlikely to take the US by storm as it has in Canada...but you can always hope and dream!!!

When I worked at Tim Hortons (in Canada) our donuts were not frozen. We made em in the back throughout the day. Same thing with the bagels, croissants, tea biscuits, cookies, etc.

I sadly worked at at tim hortons a year ago and the donuts are not baked fresh any more as to save time and to make sure the donut sizes are pretty much the same. the just heat up the frozen donuts in the oven. tastes fine to me. I sure did love eating the frozen cookie dough!

I have heard a lot of people say that the perfect store would be tim hortons coffee and krispy kreme donuts. Maybe they should combine.

I admit that is a great idea, but TH's is owned by Wendy's, who is currently in the process of splitting TH's from Wendy's stocks. A grand plan to pay off debts incurred by Wendy's when they purchased TH. As I stated previously, the Canadian market is saturated, with aprox. 1 TH for every 12,800 Canadians, and with limited growth planning in the States, TH stocks will make you little if any money.

Not being a coffee drinker anyways, I prefer a KK or Southern Maid donut with an ice cold glass of moo!

Blasphemer! ICK! Krispy Kreme donuts are gross

KK wouldn't combine anyway. They won't even let you fill a travel mug of coffee unless its got their own freakin' logo on it.

Give me a fresh donut anytime over a frozen thawed one, I don't care who makes them...I like to see how many freshly made KK donuts I can stuff into my mouth at one time!!....

KK coffee sucks...I'd rather make my own (which I do most of the time) than refill anything with that swill they call coffee

[Saddle Bronc 124]

true: KK coffee tastes like "Edward's" (no surprise that "Edward's" ranges tastewise somewhere between degreaser and used motor-oil--it's Safeway's "store brand" ), Dunkin Donuts like (a weakish batch of) Nabob.

Krispy Kreme donuts are not all there I cracked up to be... the Tim hortons donuts do not taste frozen..

My favourite is the blueberry fritter....

I also like the soup and sandwich deals they have too

6 more days and I can have my Timmy's again ... will make hubby stop there as soon as we get into Canada

I miss the chicken stew in a bread bowl

You should just shove a stick it into your Timmy's frozen donut, and lick it like a popcicle...

I think claiming that a TH donut tastes "frozen" is a lil over the edge. To me it simply doesn't taste like a fresh baked anything. Besides....we should all be watching our waists and not giving into temptation of a donut from KK or TH!!!

*looks down at his bulging waistline and sadly spits out all the fresh KK donuts he has stuffed into his mouth at one time*

Yes baby, you are so very right..Thanks for the reminder!!

I love you!!!

I was never a fan of their pastries, just love their coffee. Was kind of funny regrading the flash freezed donuts-----Tims had been doing it for awhile and many didnt notice, then once it was announced how they froze them then recooked them, people started to complain!!

12 or 13 days for me.

Theoretically 10 (as I will certainly pass through a good portion of the Toledo-Oakland County corridor on 4/13); however, I would like to avoid leaven on 4/13 (actual Passover) and 4/14 (when my home church does a Seder--which I would like to attend "in-spirit" as I cannot do so physically).

frozen or not... I plan on enjoying me a blueberry fritter and a double-double (or maybe an english toffee cappucino) this weekend for my final trip to Vancouver before Dave moves here!

Anyone know if there's a Timmys at Pearson? I've got a long layover there, I'll need nourishment ;-)
