I still find it odd that TH's have become so successful by selling coffee that doesnt taste like coffee.
I dont/wont drive their "coffee", although we do occasionally buy food from there if we're in a rush. |

I'm not a fan of Timmies coffee except for the small investment I made some years ago in a small group of franchised stores. Given the success of the corporation my investment has proven highly profitable in dividends and capital appreciation.

One only has to note the line ups inside and outside of any Timmies establishment to see that it is likely to be a good investment.
This is where the common man goes for his coffee/fast food. There's a bunch of coffee/wine snobbies on here who take perverse delight in deriding those who frequent fast food outlets. There's a reason why McDonalds, Pizza Hut, KFC and others are in all "corners" of the globe. |

Exactly and I read/studied the business plan. I won't disclose here how much I've made but by most peoples' standards it's substantial.

It's not morally sound but, as long as you can get away with it, that's business. Are you also an investor in Philip Morris? |

It's not snobbery to think it sad that people eat and drink such dreadful products and there's nothing perverse about deriding people who do so. It is right and good to mock people who harm themselves in such a way, though admittedly more questionable to mock those who poison their children by subjecting them to such establishments.

What absolute rubbish. No I haven't invested in Philip Morris and neither have I invested in producers of alcoholic products, which are poisonous to many.

There's possibly a degree of 'Coca-Cola Culture' to explain overseas popularity?

Re: Tim Hortons - another view
So what is the UKs version of Tim Hortons or do they even have one?
If visiting the UK what coffee chains would be recommended to a Canadian who is used to their drive in double double in the morning. What UK donut is superior to the Boston Creme? Is the UK version of the honey mustard sauce suitable for Novocastrians tastebuds. Do they roll up the rim to win? |
