I don't know, wouldn't it make sense for a company like that to change things slightly when trying to break a new market? The majority of people over in England don't know the legendary defence-man Tim Horton, let alone the fact that Tims is massive in Canada, a little re-branding never did anyone any harm.

You don't mess with something that is already working well for you.
What I am saying is that it isn't out of the realms of possibility that Tim Hortons would re-brand as Timmies in another market/country, in my opinion. |

Yep I know, but what I'm saying is that in a market where small coffee chains are struggling to stay afloat it wouldn't hurt to do a little market research in that market and change your brand accordingly.

Aren't Lays crisps the same as Walkers crisps in England too, it's all about fitting in to markets.
If so, once again why mess with something that is working? ASDA is owned by Wal*Mart no name change there either because it works for them to remain ASDA. |

Fair enough, don't mess with things that work.
By the way this is a great thread you guys have going! I did read that they are only stocking Tim Horton's donuts at the moment in selected locations in the UK and Ireland. Apparently Hooters are going to do a big expansion here, it is a shame Tim Horton's aren't. Coffee in other outlets is soooo expensive. |

Re: Timmies UK?!
Just to add my 2 cents. I was in my local Tesco store the other day, quietly browsing in the baked goods section. To my surprise I saw that there is now a small "Tim Horton's" shelf with a selection of donuts on it. Proper Tim's signage etc etc.
The donuts looked pretty tasty I might add - I'm planning on trying a different one each week. yum yum. |
