Plus remember Tim Horton's is both a chain and a franchise, so many Tim Hortons are actually independently owned or run by smaller corporations. The Tim Horton's occasionally spotted in the UK that appear and often disappear again are all franchises with stuff (at least in the one I have had from) that tastes nothing like the Canadian items.

The Southampton one was spot on in terms of both the coffee and doughnuts

Timmies is a public company that trades as 'THI' on the TSX and NYSE. I hated Timmies until I started trading the stock... keep sucking back the double doubles people.
