106384 Mon Sep 11 22:32:37 -0700 2000 27 32 Chains 0 576794 Hi -- recently came from a trip to Nova Scotia where I learned of Tim Horton's. Fantastic -- and I usually hate doughnuts. I especially loved the chocolate covered Timbit filled with chocolate cream. Discovering Tim Horton's was both a blessing and a curse. I've got the cravings, but I have no idea where to get them. I live in New York City, and it seems that Tim's is more of a Canadian thing. Does anybody know if there's a location in New York, or if they will Fed-Ex a package of doughnuts to the Big Apple? Mon Sep 11 22:32:37 -0700 2000 0 Jay 1 576795 Sorry, they are renowned across Canada, but I believe they are a Canada-only chain. Tue Sep 12 09:46:50 -0700 2000 576794 0 rjka 2 576796 Not true. This may be a relatively recent expansion, but there are several Tim Horton's in Portland, Maine, with new ones still going up. We're close to Canada, it's true. Tue Sep 12 10:52:21 -0700 2000 576795 0 MU 2 576797 If you want to make a road trip there are Tim Horton's in Buffalo. Sounds like they have a few locations around the US in border towns. Cheers, Joe Moryl Tue Sep 12 11:06:25 -0700 2000 576795 0 Joe Moryl 3 4859947 There's some in Ohio too. Try this Jay. http://www.timhortons.com/us/locator/index.html DT Wed Jul 15 04:27:12 -0700 2009 576797 11291 Davwud 4 4862639 The next time I am in Loudonville I will drive to Mt.Vernon to try Tim Horton's again. Wed Jul 15 19:30:07 -0700 2009 4859947 22220 Kelli2006 2 576832 There a lot of Tim Horton's in and around Detroit and they are quite popular. I recently moved to Florida from that area and one of the things i really miss is a steaming cup of their flavored cappucino on a cold winter morning. The soup therre is pretty good as well. Thu Oct 26 14:56:02 -0700 2000 576795 0 allison9090 1 576798 i can't believe i just read the word "timbits". that word reverberated throughout the depths of my psyche and then bubbled back to the surface. how could something such an integral part of my childhood have been buried in my subconscious for so long? when you got a box of timbits, usually for a school party or a girl guide event, they would come in this box that had a timbit creature on it; he looked like a mouse, with a round timbit body and two timbits for ears. he heralded fun and good times. the timbits themselves, however, were generally horrid. stale, but we ate them anyway. Thu Sep 14 01:23:13 -0700 2000 576794 0 emily 1 576799 Their website claims there are *100* branches in the US. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no listing of them to be found there, except for 2 or 3 recent ones in a news release. The US subsidiary is called "THD", but alas there are too many OTHER things in this world called "THD" for that to be useful in any web searches. Perhaps their franchising department could tell you some locations: 888-376-4835. Hey, for a good laugh, have a look at "About TH..." >> "Biogaphies". The contrast between the photos of the frat-boy-founder and the (current) execs is PRICELESS !! Link: http://www.timhortons.com Sat Sep 16 15:55:07 -0700 2000 576794 0 Jim Wong 2 576863 The website, under US franchising says: As of January 2001, there are 120 Tim Hortons locations in the United States. These are situated in the greater Detroit area, Bay City, Midland, Saginaw and Flint (Michigan); Columbus and Toledo (Ohio); Buffalo and Jamestown (New York); and Portland, Lewiston and Auburn (Maine). Future expansion and opportunities will continue in these markets as well as Rochester (New York). [more legal stuff] Certain states regulate the offer and sale of franchises. We have not applied for registration (or exemption from registration) under the laws of California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, or Washington. If you are a resident of one of these states, we will not offer a franchise to you at this time.

Mon Apr 16 15:55:18 -0700 2001 576794 0 John 1 576990 Does anyone else have the same frustration I have when ordering coffee at the Drive Through? I usually order two mediums with double cream, one sugar. What I get about 25% of the time is different from what I ordered. I know they're busy; but this is the way I like my coffee. Where do I e mail my feedback? Wed Apr 25 15:57:11 -0700 2001 576794 0 Larry Marshall 1 577063 Look ... Horton's is about more than doughnuts. It's another uniquely Canadian institution that has been hijacked by American corporate interests. Also, Tim Horton, for those that are too young or too ignorant, was a hockey player. For many Canadians his name is more closely associated with hockey rather than those appalling suburban drive through doughnut shops. So, please emonstrate a bit of reverence when discussing Tim Horton. Thu Jun 14 07:12:03 -0700 2001 576794 0 Tyler Firth 1 578329 They have quite a few stores located in Buffalo, New York....best doughnuts I ever ate!!!!!!! Fri May 10 08:38:39 -0700 2002 576794 0 izzystilldead 2 579066 We just got back from a week in Toronto. Instead of paying ripoff prices for breakfast in the hotel (Inn on the Park) restaurant, we had almost every breakfast at Tim Horton's down the street on Eglinton Avenue...what a find! I told my wife I want to open one here on Long Island! Not only are the donuts and coffee excellent, we actually had dinner there one night and I had the homemade chili in a bread bowl...it was fabulous! Sun Sep 01 08:43:59 -0700 2002 578329 0 Bill Sobel 3 579067 Hi. This link to an article that appeared in the NY Times, while you were away, may interest you. Finding food, let alone good stuff, in that part of town is difficult. If you ever do go back to the Inn on the Park I recommend that you head west along Eglinton. There are some good places with good food in all price ranges south of Eglinton on both Bayview & Mount Pleasant. Yonge Street also offers very good food both south and north of Eglinton.

Parking is a bit of a nuisance though Steve Sat Jul 11 12:15:34 -0700 2009 576794 1092810 cpfan 1 4859908 There is also a handy iphone app called TimmyMe that can be used to find your closest Tim Hortons. Unfortunately, there are none in my area -- it's a long run from NH to CT for a maple dip and a coffee. Wed Jul 15 03:03:26 -0700 2009 576794 16390 jbh11 1 4860732 Holler. I live in CT and there are several around my Hartford area location. Also, a few weeks ago they did a story on TH on CBS Sunday morning where (in jest) they polled NYers on the street asking if they knew what (or who) Tim Hortons was and no one knew. It was pretty funny. Here's the story and I see a video out there (but I can't get to youtube from work to post that link): http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/06/07/sunday/main5069548.shtml Wed Jul 15 09:07:55 -0700 2009 576794 15908 masha bousha 2 4860789 Try this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4LKFvOGx_c DT Wed Jul 15 09:24:20 -0700 2009 4860732 11291 Davwud 1 4860932 Jay, why do you like these so much more than other donuts? Just curious. Wed Jul 15 10:05:09 -0700 2009 576794 18011 Jacey 2 4860993 Please bear in mind Jay posted that nearly nine years ago.

The beancounters at Wendy's decided to centralize the baking, and the quality has gone down considerably. Their apple fritters used to be fantastic; now they're a shadow of their former greatness. However, their expansion into sandwiches and soup has been good. When my daughter's soccer team goes on road trips, Tim's is by far the preferred lunch spot, over McD's, BK, etc. Relatively healthy, not too expensive, and seems to contribute to their success.

I don't even really remember it, except I know that none of the doughnuts they've had in the last ten years have compared... Thu Jul 16 20:03:35 -0700 2009 576794 131149 Jetgirly
