About Us

Tim Hortons – A Canadian Tradition

Since opening our first restaurant in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario, Tim Hortons® has been a beloved part of Canadian life. For decades, Canadians have started their mornings and shared special moments over our iconic Original Blend coffee, Double-Double coffees, donuts, and Timbits.

Today, Tim Hortons is Canada’s largest restaurant chain, proudly serving over 5 million cups of coffee every day. With 80% of Canadians visiting a Tims at least once a month, we are more than just a coffee and bake shop—we are a symbol of community, connection, and Canadian values.

Rooted in Community, Committed to Giving Back

Tim Hortons has always had a deep connection to the communities we serve. Our network of over 1,500 restaurant owners are Canadians just like you—living and working in cities and towns across the country. Together, they employ more than 100,000 people, fuelling local economies and fostering meaningful relationships.

We believe in giving back, which is why we contribute over $60 million annually to community initiatives and organizations throughout Canada. Through programs like Timbits Sports and the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps, we invest in the well-being and future of young Canadians, helping them grow, learn, and succeed.

More Than Coffee – A Canadian Tradition

At Tim Hortons, we are more than just a place to grab a coffee—we are part of the fabric of Canada. Whether it’s starting your day with a fresh brew, sharing a box of Timbits, or supporting local community programs, Tims is where Canadians come together.

Join us at your local Tim Hortons and be part of a tradition that warms hearts, fuels communities, and keeps Canada running.
