    Awesome

    Next to playing my +ev machine and visiting Billsfans family, it was the highlight of my recent trip to Niagara Falls.

    PS- Do you know who Tim Horton was?

      Best chain coffee and pastries out there. They're the biggest fast food chain in Canada, even outselling McD's!

        You can't go wrong sticking to Tim Hortons (personal fave is half French Vanilla/ half coffee). I wish they were in the UK. Whatever you do, don't ever go in Coffee Time.

          I like their coffee. They are not around me much in MA but when visiting some other states like ME or CT, I usually stop there.

              Tim Hortons is the best coffee in the world, without a doubt.
              Who was he? He was a player for the leafs who died tragically on the QEW.
              I have atleast 1 double double everyday.

                  In my opinion, highly overrated.

                  For one thing, I don't like their cups.

                  Tim Hortons is 2-1 over DD in my mind........but I know DD has a loyal following.

                      Ma and Pa shops are the best. Always have fresher products.

                          I don't have to go to the northeast US to find a Tim's. They're all over the place in Canuckland.

                          Big fan. I Don't go a day without a couple large double-doubles. In the sweltering heat, nothing beats an ice-cap.

                          Lineups can be long at the drive-thru, but well worth it.

                              Franchising Program


                              Franchise Cost: $430,000 to $480,000* plus all applicable taxes (this includes a drive-thru)
                              Additional Working Capital: (start-up costs) $50,000 (unencumbered)
                              At least $144,000 of the franchise cost must be unencumbered (cash or liquid assets) in addition to the $50,000 working capital which must also be unencumbered. The remaining amount may be financed through various lending programs offered by the chartered banks, providing, of course, the candidate meets the normal borrowing requirements.
                              The specific cost of a Tim Hortons license will depend upon the Tim Hortons building size and the required furnishings and equipment to be installed. The cost of a Tim Hortons license may exceed $480,000 in certain locations due to higher development costs.
                              Included in the cost of a franchise is the following:
                              • all equipment, furniture, display equipment and signage
                              • 8 week training program in the Oakville, ON, Training Centre
                              • a store opening crew to assist the opening of the Tim Hortons store (for a maximum period of 2 weeks)
                              • the use of all Tim Hortons Manuals
                              • right to use trademarks and trade names
                              • support from Head Office personnel who have vast knowledge in the food service business.
                              Not included in the cost of the franchise:
                              • The building
                              • The property on which the restaurant is built
                              • The term of the License agreement is usually 10 years and usually with options to renew for up to a further period of 10 years.
                              The Real Estate and Development Department approves and secures all locations upon which Tim Hortons stores are built, whether they are leased or purchased. Therefore, an applicant is not expected to bring forward a site and/or concern themselves with the development of such. Once the site is secured, the Construction department begins the process of building the store.

                                Cofee houses in Florida would fail. It is the wring climate and bit enough demand. Most Dunkin Donuts fail in FL

                                  You are way wrong on this son.

                                  Dunkin Donut shops are springing up right and left down here, some the size of which I've never seen before.

                                  Coffee is HUGE down here.......

                                  DUNKIN DONUTS
                                  EINSTEINS
                                  McDonalds
                                  PANERA BREAD
                                  ATLANTA BREAD
                                  ETC
                                  ETC

                                  These places are most always full of customers..........at all times.
