O Canada 13

Day thirteen of my series on Things Canada is Known For. This series would not be complete without posting a Tim Hortons restaurant.
Tim Hortons opened its first donut shop in 1967. Started by Tim Horton who played professional hockey with the Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres.
He was killed in a car accident in 1974.
Today there are over 5000 Tim Hortons in 15 countries around the world.
This post is for Francoise @francoise for her mention of Tim Hortons in things she thinks about when she thinks of Canada

[Francoise]

donuts! yeah! Yep, I definitely got the idea that Canadians not only liked donuts but that they ate a great many! Maybe to keep warm against the all that cold.

[GaryW]

So cool to know. I've not heard of these restaurants. I don't think we have them in the South, USA.

[Heather]

A good choice, Brian! And thank you for this information- I knew only part of the history.

[Suzanne]

Not many of this chain in Australia. One in Sydney and maybe one in Perth. I am finding out all kinds of things about Canada. Thanks

[Ann H. LeFevre]

My first exposure to Tom Horton's was in Batavia where my son lives. I like their hot chocolate!

[LManning (Laura)]

Home of the timbit and the double-double. The original Tim Hortons location, in Hamilton Ontario, has a museum inside!

[amyK]

Found a list of the top 10 US states with Tim Horton’s locations and Michigan is number 1…yeah! (204). Arriving at work with a box of tim-bits to share makes one very popular!

[Rick]

Nice capture. Always like the donuts.

[winghong_ho]

Nice capture of the shop. I like donuts, too.

[Valerie Chesney]

I don't know this name but, I do like donuts.

[Bill Davidson]

I do love a donut!

[Kathy]

Any time recently I've read a book or watched a movie taking place in Canada, there seems to be some reference to this restaurant.

[Gosia]

Interesting

[Diana]

What a shame that he could not reap the rewards, lovely shot and info.

I remember my first Tim Hortons visit! Felt like a Canadian tradition.

[Harry J Benson]

Always enjoyed going to Tim Horton's whenever we were in Canada

[Judith Johnson]

Oh yes please - why didn't I thik of that!

[Jessica Eby]

Nice! I like the postage stamp style Alberta sign on the wall; I haven't seen that type of thing at other locations.

[Pat Knowles]

Tim Horton has done well….donut restaurant! 🥰

[Oli Lindenskov]

[Bill]

I’ve been to Canada once. I must have visited at least one of the stores. It was a few years ago.

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of the building.

[KWind]

Nice shot. I was just saying to Ron yesterday when we drove by a Timmy's that I can't remember the last time I went to one. We used to go all the time when the kids were little for Tim bits!

[Diane]

Nice photo. There was a Tim Horton's near us in Florida.

[Nina Ganci]

wow! seems like they have a great selection of donoughts!
