Canadian brand
Food & Drink
Toronto, ON
Canadian-founded quick-service restaurant and coffee chain serving coffee, specialty beverages, baked goods, breakfast and sandwich items.
Menus and positioning differ, and Tim Hortons has a stronger quick-service breakfast and sandwich focus than Starbucks.
Alternative to Starbucks
Food & Drink
Coffee, specialty beverages, baked goods and quick-service café food
Both are coffee-led quick-service chains with brewed coffee, specialty drinks and food. Tim Hortons provides a Canadian-founded alternative for the broad café and coffee occasion.
Tim Hortons is owned by Restaurant Brands International (RBI), a publicly traded company. Ultimate Canadian control is not sufficiently clear under the directory's ownership standard, so Canadian Owned is unknown.
Tim Hortons states that its Original Blend coffee served in Canada is roasted in Ancaster, Ontario and that most Tims At Home products are made in Canada; this establishes Canadian production for part of the offering, not all products.
