Wonderful to see this thread grow.....Thanks to you all!!!

I just couldn't let someone ask me where Canada was and get away with it LMAO



hmmm.....Tim Hortons ... established in Hamilton Ontario in 1964 by a former cop Ron Joyce and Tim Hortons. My dad did the plumbing on the first store on Ottawa Street. Now we seem to have one of these establishments on every second corner.....lots that are just drive throughs too. BTW cops get free coffee at Timmys.......you can more often than not see one driving in to get their freebie!
If you are inclined to hang out at a Hortons Coffee shop you will garner the name " Tim Bit Rider" and what is a Tim Bit???? It is the hole in the donut. What a marketing dream come true that was!!!!

Tim Horton was killed in a single car accident just down the highway from here years ago....can't recall the year now though!
And Joyce's daughter ended up marrying Horton's son.
Ron Joyce and Dave Thomas of Wendy's fame merged together a few years back.......and became quite the conglomerate(sp) lol

AND FYI Dave Thomas started out by being an owner of one of Colonel Saunders franchises!
