Tim Hortons coffee and baked goods

Tim Hortons is an iconic Canadian brand founded by ice hockey legend Tim Horton and businessman Jim Charade in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1964. Originally focusing on coffee and donuts, it has expanded to become Canada's largest quick-service restaurant chain, deeply embedded in the national identity. While headquartered in Toronto, the brand's supply chain is extensive, with its proprietary coffee blends roasted at facilities in Ontario and New York, while various food products are sourced through a network of regional manufacturers across North America.

Over the decades, the brand underwent significant ownership changes, including a notable merger with Wendy's International, Inc. in 1995 before being spun off as a standalone public company in 2006. In 2014, the brand entered a new era when it was acquired by Burger King's parent company, resulting in the formation of Restaurant Brands International (RBI). Today, Tim Hortons operates as a key banner under this multinational hospitality conglomerate, maintaining its Canadian heritage while expanding its footprint globally across markets in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
