Tim Hortons Inc. (TSX: THI, NYSE: THI) is a Canadian fast casual restaurant known for its coffee and doughnuts. It is also Canada’s largest fast food service with over 3000 stores nationwide. It was founded in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario, by Canadian hockey player Tim Horton and Jim Charade, after an initial venture in hamburger restaurants. In 1967 Horton partnered with investor Ron Joyce, who assumed control over operations after Tim Horton died in 1974, and expanded the chain into a multi-million dollar franchise. Charade left the organization in 1966 and briefly returned in 1970 and 1993 through 1996.
Tim Hortons franchises spread rapidly and eventually overtook McDonald’s as Canada’s largest food service operator.

No, but I’ll spank you and call you Mathilde, if you like.
And we call female Tim Horton’s Counter Staff “Timmy Hoes” here. It’s the best place for jailbait scoping since I got kicked out of the local high school.
Plus, their new uniform shirts are kinda transluscent, which is always a bonus.

In 1995, Tim Hortons—or, as Canadians like to call it, Tim’s, Timmy’s or Timmy Ho’s—merged with the American fast-food operation Wendy’s International, which made Joyce the single largest shareholder in the combined firm and Tim Hortons a Delaware company, although head office remained in Oakville, Ontario, as it operated largely independent of Wendy’s.
