Timmy Ho's in HockeyTown?

[LkptTiger 1]

My team will be traveling to Detroit for a tournament near the end of September/beginning of October, and, due to a certain superstition/ritual I have, it would be necessary for me to find a few Tim Horton's. Any information as to whether Timmy Ho's has in fact invaded HockeyTown, and how abundant the chain might be in that area is greatly appreciated.

Thanks alot, Chadd.

Wow. Only 73 in the whole state of Michigan, huh? There might be more than that in the Niagara Falls, Wheatfield, Tonawanda areas alone...

So I wasnt just imagining that last time I was in Hamilton there seemed to be a TimHos on EVERY corner...

To be totally honest with you, I'm not too sure. I just recieved a schedule at practice a few nights ago, and the tournament is on the calendar. The page that was attached said we would get more information once it was made available to the team. I'm hoping we get a bit more tonight at the game.

I saw PA listed and just about busted a nut, too bad all three are in Erie. I was there for a couple of projects I did for the state years ago and was more than pleased to leave.

...It says there are only 64 in NY, but, looking at the locations, I can see that they have at least one or two new ones missing.

Driving from Toronto, all the way around Lake Ontario to Niagara Falls, there is one pretty well every exit off of the highway.

In Alberta it is an average of 1 Tim Hortons for every 10,000 people.

In NS, well in Halifax theres one like every mile. I drive 30 seconds down the road theres one, then drive another 2 mins theres another, than go in to Bayers Park (shopping district) theres another 2 mins away from the last one etc...

At my university we have 12 Tims on campus and at the office I work in the summer there are 2 in one building.

OK, well let me know when you find out more, and I'll tell you if a Tim Horton's is close... and also if JR or I are nearby, so you can get a top-notch sharpening!

Hamilton has the most Timmies, but (if memory serves) St. Catharines has the most overall Coffee/donut shops (per capita) in Canada.

MMMMMM....Timmies!

There's a Timmy Ho's/Wendy's about a mile and a half from me. Sorry, but I'm a Krispy Kreme guy :)

But you know what there isn't a lot of in Toronto? Fast food restaurants! :(

My family was in Toronto last year for the Induction Weekend, so we bought the CityPass. We went to the Science Musuem -- which is outstanding, by the way -- and figured we'd stop for lunch as we drove to Casa Loma.

Where were all the McDonalds????? Why hasn't American culture taken over the world????? :o

We drove twelve miles and saw one McDonalds, which was not my first choice, but they wouldn't take credit cards and we didn't have enough Canadian money. It turned out we could have turned onto Yonge Street since they were all there, but I was in the wrong lane and going too fast, so I didn't notice.

The thing is I couldn't drive anywhere in Denver for twelve miles without passing a McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King, KFC, Carl's Jr, Chipotle, Q-Doba, Quizno's, Subway, Taco Bell, Good Times, El Pocco, Chik-Fil-Et, Rubios, Wahoo's, and probably about ten others.

Of course, no In-N-Out! That okay, though. I was in Southern Cal last week and went there five times..... ;)

In my neighbourhood which is just outside of Toronto theyre all in clusters. When you see a McDonalds, a Wendys, Subway, Burger King, etc will all be within 2 minutes but they arent really scattered all over the place just certain intersections and areas have them all.

salming, there's a reason why America's obesity rate is much higher than Canada's

btw, did you go to the CN tower? the very top of it (the highest you can go) lets you see all of Toronto as well a across lake ontario to niagara on clear days

Ain't that the truth, brother! :o

I did. And it obviously is incredibly impressive. But the sad truth is halfway up the elevator I turtled.

Not that I love heights, but everything was fine until the elevator operator asked my daughters if they wanted to move up front. After seeing my five and seven-year-old daughters leaning against the glass door, all of the sudden I just became petrified, as I couldn't shake the image of them pushing a button and falling.

I know it sounds crazy and, believe me, I want to try again when I'm up in Toronto in November, but for the rest of tour I was, frankly, petrified. Especially while seeing my daughters running around the glass floor or leaning over the rails.

Yup, I wimped.....

Ever since Tim Hortons stopped making doughnuts fresh they have sucks. Krispy Kreme has gone belly up here in Canada.

I've heard that Krispy Kreme is pulling out of Canada because of they're doing so badly here. And I don't know what kind of Timmys they run where you live, but i've never been to one where they dont make fresh donuts...

Well you must not have had them lately. Here is a quote from an employee:

I am an employee of Tim Hortons. I started in February, precisely when they were adopting their new "Always Fresh" baking system. I could not figure out how they were producing all these donuts with no fryer in sight, so I inquired with a manager, who told me about the new system, and not to tell anyone. Fryers in stores were ripped out and replaced with giant walk-in freezers and a special frozen-donut-reheating oven.

The donuts and other baked goods are partially baked in a plant in southern Ontario, frozen solid and shipped to stores accross the country to be reheated, decorated and served in-store. Doesn't sound very fresh to me. I get dozens of complaints about the donuts every day. The main complaint is that the baked products are smaller. If you want a better donut, and a better cup of coffee, try Robin's Donuts. Tim Hortons may pay my bills, but deserves no respect when it comes to the donut industry.
