Selection Process

 The selection of new Tim Hortons store owners is an important decision involving an extensive interview/approval process. Not everyone who applies for a franchise meets the criteria to be a Tim Hortons licensee. For mutual success and satisfaction, we must ensure that each store owner possesses the necessary entrepreneurial drive, management skills, financial means and dedication which is required in today's competitive market.

At Tim Hortons, we are proud that our superior products, clean, well-located stores and reasonable prices have developed such a loyal clientele. This continuing success has allowed hundreds of individuals to realize their dream of owning and operating a successful business. However, it's not as easy as it sounds. This business requires a great amount of dedication, direct supervision, long hours and hands-on manual labour.

In the Tim Hortons system, the selection of the best people followed by a comprehensive training program and ongoing operational and marketing support has allowed the chain to continue its expansion and remain as Canada's foremost coffee and baked goods chain.
