The day that nobody thought would come has actually arrived. The famed Canadian coffee spot, Tim Horton's, is getting ready to cross the border and set up shop in New York City.
Tim Horton's will be taking over multiple Dunkin’ Donut establishments in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The total number of new coffee shops will be 12 with 3 more to come in the future.
It’s nice to see a powerful Canadian (as important to us as hockey…maybe) company make its move into an untested and uncertain market (you know, with Starbucks chilling around and everything).
As long as they don’t move them all out of Canada, then I’m set.
