What a shame. And I would have wanted it all for a chocolate chip donut or chicken ranch snack wrappers. :( Story

Tim Hortons exists outside Canada? Americans would rather drink their fruity starbucks drinks than real coffee obviously.

not surprised. Though it might be popular in WNY, and close to the border, i am not sure if it can penetrate to states farther away. But I find their coffee disgusting tbh

Tim Horton's coffee is one step above garbage juice

They're closing because people only buy the food and that's not often

Dunkin' Donuts has the coffee

Dunkin Donuts is too popular around here for it to have stayed. Within a 5 minute drive from my house there is literally 8 Dunkin Donuts. There's atleast twice that if not more within a 15 minute drive.

Not surprising, NE is the heart of Dunkin Donuts (who by some unholy power manage to make coffee that actually tastes worse than Tim Horton's) country.

I wouldn't call Tim Hortons so much a fast food place. From what I've had there (and the ads we get on Canadian television!) it has a very homespun feel to it. When I think of Tims, it's getting up at 6 in the morning for hockey practice in the dead of winter. I wouldn't call it the coffee joint Starbucks is, for all the young, hip folk who drink their herbal teas and sit in to write a novel.

everyone says they have bad coffee, crap food, but seriously if you just one nice hearty breakfast with a hot coffee, Timmie is the best place to be for me, it's cheap as hell and it's edible (and tastes nice, IMO)

I don't drink coffee, but Dunkin Donut's donuts are really good, except you have to eat them right away because they go stale really fast.

I don't drink their coffee, I honestly only go there for the donuts, turkey bacon clubs and peppermint hot chocolate around the holidays. If they have crap food, I have not tasted it.

No, you're definitely right, but...

Awful store, awful doughnuts, awful coffee. Only their sandwiches are somewhat redeeming, but you still have to endure the terrible service to get them in the first place. I know I'm Canadian and thus expected to love Tim Hortons, but blech.

Their donuts taste like the generic mass marketed stale hockey pucks that they are.

You're Canadian and do not like Tim Hortons? I am not exaggerating when I say that I have never in my life met a Canadian who dislikes Tim Hortons. It's like finding the Sasquatch or Loch Ness monster.

Good, Tim Hortons belongs in Canada! Just kidding, that sucks. I'd be upset if I couldn't get a French Vanilla cap every once in a while. Or a nice chocolate chip muffin :)

I used to like their sandwiches, but they just started using some new large dry bun that's just awful, and not cheap at all. They even cheap out on the large sandwiches, putting e.g. 3 scoops of chicken salad on a large instead of 4 (half sandwich gets 2 scoops). Pretty bs if you ask me. I only go to Timmy's for cheap coffee and a donut nowadays.
