Canadian coffee and doughnut franchise named after the hockey player. Now a multimillion dollar business, and a staple of Canadian culture.
The coffee has a distinct flavour, which keeps customers coming back. There is an urban legend that Tim's puts nicotine in the coffee, but this has been debunked. Also known for their timbits which are cheap bite sized donuts.
