Franchising

 Tim Hortons^® is proud of its dedicated North American franchisees chainwide, all of whom exemplify and execute the Tim Hortons principles and standards of operation on a daily basis.

It is through the dedication and commitment of our franchisees, combined with the knowledgeable advice and direction from our corporate personnel, that Tim Hortons has become the largest chain in its category in Canada - and a growing presence in the U.S. Operating since 1964, the success of Tim Hortons has come as a result of pioneering franchisees. Many of these operators are still with the chain today, and along with strong second generation operations, have helped build the chain's foundation, store by store.

The goal of Tim Hortons in the United States is to duplicate the same commitment to product quality, value, cleanliness, customer service and community leadership that has been established in Canada by our affiliate, The TDL Group Corp. These basic principles are best executed by owner/operators who are dedicated entirely to the hands-on operation of their Tim Hortons restaurants, and are supported by an extensive range of services provided by Tim Hortons and its affiliated companies.

As of March 30, 2008, there are 399 Tim Hortons locations in the United States. These are primarily situated in (and the areas surrounding) Buffalo, Rochester (New York), Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, Bay City, Midland, Lansing(Michigan), Columbus, Dayton, Toledo (Ohio), Erie (Pennsylvania), Charleston, Huntington, Wheeling (West Virginia), Maine, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

Future expansion and opportunities will continue in the above listed markets for the next several years, in addition to new expansion areas of Richmond (Indiana) and Syracuse (New York).
