The Story of Tim Hortons
The Tim Hortons chain was founded in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario.

The first Tim Hortons stores offered only two products - coffee and donuts.
The selection of donuts to enjoy was highlighted by two original Tim Hortons creations, t
he Apple Fritter and the Dutchie. They became the most popular donut choices in the 60's,
and remain two of the most popular today.

In addition to their regular stand alone stores, Tim Hortons locations can also be found in
shopping malls, highway outlets, universities and hospitals, providing prominent visibility
for the chain. Most standard Tim Hortons locations offer 24-hour drive-thru service, catering
to consumers on the go. Combo unit locations, which house both a Tim Hortons and Wendy's,
offer customers the convenience of both restaurants under one roof.

In 1995, Tim Hortons merged with Wendy's International, Inc., giving new focus and impetus
to the expansion of the Tim Hortons concept in the United States. Tim Hortons locations
can presently be found in Michigan, Maine, Connecticut, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New York

As of July 3, 2011 there are 3189 stores across Canada, and 622 locations in the United States.
